Chu Chen¡¯s explanation is well-founded, and coupled with past experiences, everyone thinks that Chu Chen¡¯s judgment should be correct. At this time, Zhao Qirui said: "But why is there no date for this work? How can we judge when it was created by Jin Nong?" "That's not very clear." Chu Chen shook his head and continued: " However, the time of creation can be judged from the style of painting. In his later years, Jinnong added a lot of restraint to the style of bamboo painting, and he also made double-hook bamboos with a calm brushwork, which can be said to have the strength and strength of iron line drawing. The changes in the water shield strips are not something ordinary painters can do. " "But judging from the wild style and brushwork of this painting, it should be from the early stage of Jin Nong's bamboo painting, and from the later mature stage. Compared with the other works, it is definitely inferior, but from this painting, we can also see the change in Jin Nong's creative style. In this regard, this work is still rare. " "Oh!" Zhao Qirui heard this. When he spoke, his eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Achen, do you think that because of this, other people misjudged and thought that this was a work that Jin Nong hired someone to ghostwrite?" Chu Chen smiled slightly, w ¡Þww. He was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and said: "I can't say no, but judging from the level of this painting, the chance of this should be low." Zhao Qirui chuckled: "As long as there is a chance, maybe we will pick it up "It's a bargain." "If there is a chance, of course I will fight for it." Chu Chen smiled and nodded. ?Said earlier. Among the calligraphy and painting works, except for the works of Shi Tao and Jin Nong. None of the others are works by famous artists, but it is already getting late. But it was too early to have dinner, so everyone enjoyed other works as well. However, when Chu Chen saw a picture of Chen Zhuo's "Summer Mountain High Hidden Picture", he couldn't help but be startled. Chen Zhuo was a painter of the Qing Dynasty, with the courtesy name Zhongli and his later nickname Chunchi Old Man. He is good at painting green landscapes and likes to paint green colors, flowers, birds and figures. His landscape paintings are meticulous and precise in composition. The brushwork is meticulous and the colors are clear and elegant, making people feel relaxed and happy. The colors of the flower and bird paintings are bright, and the painting style belongs to the Jinling School system. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT Out of Chu Chen¡¯s experience, this work is not the style Chen Zhuo should have in terms of brushwork or artistic conception, nor is it what his level can achieve. After thinking about this, Chu Chen became interested. He stepped forward and studied it carefully. This painting depicts lofty mountains and dense forests, steep ridges and deep ravines; a villa hidden by a stream, with pavilions and pavilions connected by winding paths; springs and waterfalls coming from deep valleys, and strange peaks towering above the clouds. in addition. The signature of this painting only contains two words: "neutral". When Chu Chen saw this, an idea flashed in his mind, and he understood it immediately. This is simply because the expert who appraised it has been disgraced for some unknown reason. You should know. Among ancient painters, Chen Zhuo is not the only one who has the word "neutral". There is also a very famous painter who also has this name. He is Fan Kuan, one of the three famous landscape painters in the Northern Song Dynasty. Fan Kuan, whose birth and death dates are unknown, whose real name is Zhongzheng and whose courtesy name is Zhongli (also known as Zhongli), was a landscape painter of the Northern Song Dynasty. He lived in the early Northern Song Dynasty and was ranked as one of the three famous landscape painters of the Northern Song Dynasty. Because of his generous temperament and informality in etiquette, people at that time called him "Kuan", so he named himself after Fan Kuan. Fan Kuan is good at painting landscapes. He studied under Jing Hao and Li Cheng, but he is able to innovate and bring out the new, making him a unique painter. He attaches great importance to sketching, often living in the mountains and forests, always in danger, observing the misty clouds, wind and moonlight scenery in the morning and evening. Although the months are sometimes unclear, he never stops. It is precisely this that made him a master of landscape painting. He painted mountains and rocks with vigorous and hard strokes, using short and powerful strokes (called raindrops by later generations) to depict the shape and texture of the rocks. The mountains in the painting stand tall and majestic, with overwhelming momentum. They can be described as majestic and vast. Wang Shen, a painter in the late Northern Song Dynasty, compared the landscape paintings of Li Cheng and Fan Kuan, likening them to "one literary and one military", indicating that Fan Kuan's landscape images are opposite to Li Cheng's moody and physical appearance of vast smokey forests and desolate weather, and have a unique style. . Liu Daochun of the Northern Song Dynasty also believed in his "Criticisms of Famous Paintings of the Holy Dynasty" that "Li Cheng's brushwork makes his near-sightedness seem to be thousands of miles away; Fan Kuan's brushwork makes him look far away from his seat." ? Like the work in front of Chu Chen, the brushwork is vigorous and thick, the brushwork is strong and the realm is high and majestic. The use of ink has a strong ink charm, which is thick and moist, and full of beauty. The whole picture is powerful and makes people feel as if they are immersed in the scene. However, one characteristic of this painting is that too much ink is used on some rocks. At first glance, they appear to be indistinguishable from the earth and rocks. Although the painting is majestic, it is as dark as a twilight night. Perhaps, it was precisely because of this that the appraiser?'s expert made an error in judgment. But Chu Chen felt that unless the expert didn't know Fan Kuan well, how could he not know it? This was exactly Fan Kuan's style in his later years, and was also rated by Mi Fu as "he used too much ink in his later years and did not distinguish between earth and stone." . Regarding Mi Fu's comments, Chu Chen felt that it was a little unfair, because it is not uncommon for soil and rock to be indistinguishable in nature, and Fan Kuan probably came here to sketch the scenery; moreover, the style of painting changes with age, and even more so in his later years. It is normal to be mellow; the third one is caused by the deterioration of eyesight in old age, but like Huang Binhong, it is interesting. Fan Kuan made good use of raindrops and ink accumulation to create a melancholy effect like hiking at night, highlighting the ruggedness of the mountain. Mi Fu believed that Fan Kuan's use of ink was too thick and that it was difficult to distinguish between loess and stone, which was a shortcoming. This is Fan Kuan's unique style and an important basis for identifying the authenticity of Fan Kuan's works. Taking the painting in front of him as an example, based on the use of brushes and the artistic conception, Chu Chen was basically certain that this painting was made by Fan Kuan, and the result given by Qian Neng was exactly the same. Chu Chen found it a bit incredible to think that Fan Kuan's works could be considered to be by Qing Dynasty painter Chen Zhuo. However, he immediately became excited. This was an opportunity that had been missed. How could he miss it? Seeing Chu Chen standing in front of a painting by a lesser-known painter from the Qing Dynasty for a long time, Zhao Qirui felt a little strange, so he walked over: "Achen, what are you looking at?Eh!" As he spoke, he also He looked at the "Summer Mountain High Hidden Picture", but as soon as the painting came into view, he let out a light sigh. After a while, his face showed a look of surprise and confusion. Chu Chen came back to his senses and quickly looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he breathed a sigh of relief, then quickly and calmly pulled Zhao Qirui aside and said softly: "We can talk about this after we go out. " At this time, Zhao Qirui also reacted and nodded gently to say yes. Because of this "Summer Mountain High Hidden Picture", Chu Chen and the others had no intention of admiring other auction items. However, for the sake of safety, before leaving, Chu Chen still used his superpower on all the items in the room, and the result It also shows that the only chance to pick up the missing pieces is in "Summer Mountain High Hidden Picture". After walking out of the club, Zhao Qirui couldn't wait to ask: "Achen, what's going on with that painting just now? I think in terms of artistic conception, it shouldn't be at the level that Chen Zhuo can achieve, right?" Chu Chen said with a smile: "Yes. "The person who appraised it must have made a mistake. This work should have been created by Fan Kuan." "What?" Everyone knew Fan Kuan's status, and they were all very surprised when they heard this. Moreover, in addition to Fan Kuan's great fame, his authentic paintings that have been handed down are also quite rare, and they are basically stored in museums. If the painting is indeed authentic, it will be of great value and significance. Zhao Qirui came back to his senses and asked quickly: "Achen, are you sure it is Fan Kuan's authentic work?" Chu Chen smiled and said: "Although I am not 100% sure, I am still quite sure. Uncle, you should have done the same just now. I noticed the brushwork used in this painting. What do you think when you compare it with Fan Kuan's brushwork?" Zhao Qirui thought about it for a moment, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Chu Chen's judgment should be correct. In terms of Fan Kuan's use of brushes and inks, Guo Ruoxu, a famous calligraphy and painting connoisseur and painting history critic in the Song Dynasty, commented that "the brushes are equally balanced, and the people and houses are all of quality." "Hold the pen" is a method of using the pen from squatting to rising diagonally in calligraphy, which is full of strength. "Every house is made of quality" refers to the sense of texture and volume, which is the effect formed by repeated dyeing with a brush. Later generations called it "the stone man in the iron house", "the boundary is like an iron wire", "the carved and cut poor" Silk hair and strong pen", and overall it is "the bone method of deshan". There have always been several views on Fan Kuan¡¯s chai method. Judging from the work, the strokes are straight and straight. First, the steep and carved edges of the mountain rocks are outlined with a thick brush and heavy ink on the side edges. Then, the strong and majestic center strokes are repeatedly used to make raindrop chapping (or sesame chapping, scraping iron chapping). Create the back texture and quality of the rock. When adding a chaffing pen on the inside of the outer outline, leave a little blank space along the edge, which is similar to a "high-gloss surface" to express the convex and concave shapes of the mountain. Such a penetrating expression shows the character of the northern mountain rocks, which is forged with iron and cast with steel. And because it is repeatedly rendered with ink after chapping, it is "accumulated ink", which is thick but not dry, moist and calm. Under such a strong momentum, the day seems to turn into night, just as Huang Binhong said with emotion when viewing the painting: "It's like walking on a mountain at night, with deep layers of darkness." This is what Mi Fu said about Fan Kuan just now. Therefore, it makes sense for Chu Chen to think that Mi Fu's evaluation is slightly unfair. Next, Chu Chen introduced the characteristics of the painting to everyone in detail. Zhao Qirui laughed and said: "Needless to say,The painting must be Fan Kuan's original work. I don't know what happened to the appraiser, but he actually made that conclusion. It's really funny! " Chu Chen smiled and nodded. Although the style of this painting was easy to identify, he really couldn't figure out why the appraiser made such a mistake. At this time, Zhao Heyan said: "Is it possible? Maybe it¡¯s because this painting looks too new. It¡¯s been almost a thousand years since the Northern Song Dynasty, but this painting is still so well preserved. I think it¡¯s a bit incredible!
