Worth 100 Million!
Shen Xu did not understand the principle behind this at all.
He could only watch the old man's operation from the side in a daze.
Old Master Zhao looked at the thinner gel in the basin and nodded in satisfaction.
Then, he took out a soft brush from the cabinet.
He dipped a soft brush into the gel in the basin.
He started to paint the back of the painting evenly.
Just when Shen Xu thought that it was over,
Old Master Zhao took out a watering can from the cabinet.
And sprayed something misty on the back of the painting,
After doing this, Old Master Zhao stopped.
He looked up at Shen Xu and said,
"Alright, you can go out first. Come in after I'm done removing the painting.”
Shen Xu looked at the painting reluctantly, nodded, and went to the living room.
Shen Xu understood Old Master Zhao's actions very well.
After all,
The art of painting was Old Master Zhao's unique skill.
Shen Xu knew.
Even among Old Master Zhao's disciples,
Only one of them had inherited the old master's teachings!
So,
Old Master Zhao didn't want Shen Xu to see the process of him taking off the painting.
Shen Xu could totally understand.
After coming out,
Shen Xu was in the living room.
He used his phone to browse the auction information of the major auction houses.
After watching for more than ten minutes,
Old Master Zhao looked a little tired, but his eyes were bright.
"Kid, you're rich!"
This was the first sentence that Old Master Zhao said when he came out.
When he said this, he seemed a little excited.
Hearing the old man's words, Shen Xu pretended to be surprised and said,
"What do you mean rich?"
Old Master Zhao waved at Shen Xu and said,
"Come in and take a look yourself."
With that, he turned around and walked into the studio.
Shen Xu followed the old man in.
In the studio.
There were two paintings on the table.
Old Master Zhao pointed at one of the paintings with a smile and said to Shen Xu,
"Look whose painting this is!"
When Shen Xu heard this, he knew that it was time to test his acting skills.
He picked up the magnifying glass and looked at the painting from beginning to end.
After a while,
Then, he raised his head and said with a shocked expression,
"This is…this is Tang Bohu's painting!”
Shen Xu seemed to be so excited that he could not speak properly.
Old Master Zhao felt that Shen Xu's behavior was very normal.
After all, this was Tang Bohu's painting!
A normal person would definitely be excited if they knew that such a painting belonged to them.
Hearing Shen Xu's words, the old man smiled and nodded.
"That's right, this is Tang Bohu's authentic work!”
"This is a 'Lunar Spring Painting' that Tang Bohu painted in his later years!”
At this point, the old man paused and continued,
"The word 'moon' in this picture of the moon spring has established the faint color tone of the entire painting. The mountain rocks, houses, and trees are all faint. There is only ink and no ochre. It is the feeling of the bright white moonlight enveloping the earth.”
" The painting unfurled slowly. At the end, a bright moon could be seen, quietly and indifferently shining on the spring water in the mountains. Beside the clear spring, there was a noble scholar sitting on the ground with a calm expression.”
After saying that, the old man sighed and said,
"This is a rare treasure!”
Shen Xu seemed to have recovered from his "excitement".
At this moment, his expression was calm as he slowly asked,
"Then Grandpa Zhao, I know the inscription and postscript on this painting. What about the other seals?”
Old Master Zhao pondered for a moment and explained,
"The title and postscript of the painting was written by Tang Bohu's good friend, Zhu Yunming. There is an inscription at the back-Wu Zhong Zhu Yunming's Fu. Among them, the seal of Wu Jun Zhu Sheng was left by him.”
"The other two seals are from the Snow Plains Appreciation Pavilion and the Yun Hua Immortal Pavilion. They are both famous collectors of paintings and calligraphy in the Qing Dynasty. These two seals are Cao Xueping and Du Yunhua's. When they collected and appreciated this painting, they stamped their private seals!”
After hearing Old Master Zhao's explanation, Shen Xu finally understood the meaning of the two seals.
After thinking for a moment, he asked again,
"Grandpa Zhao, how much is this painting worth?
When the old man heard Shen Xu's words, he immediately glared at him.
"What? You still want to sell this painting? This is a national treasure!"
Shen Xu saw that the old man was getting anxious and quickly comforted him with a smile,
"There's no place to buy such a treasure. How can I sell it? I'm just asking to understand.”
Old Master Zhao heaved a sigh of relief.
After thinking for a moment, he said,
"This painting of the Moon Spring has Tang Yin's inscription,'Wu County's Tang Yin Painted for the Moon Spring'. In addition to Zhu Yunming's inscription at the end of the scroll,' Daoist's Name: Moon Spring...'It can be seen that this is a painting that Tang Yin painted for' Daoist Moon Spring'.”
"According to the records of ancient literature such as the Ming Painting Record, Yue Quan's name is Ke Hao. He is the abbot of the Linggu Temple in Xijing and a very famous accomplished monk in the Jiangnan literati circle.”
"Thus, this Painting of the Moon Spring can be said to have been passed down in an orderly manner, and its history can be traced. It is truly a rare and priceless treasure!”
"What about the price?"
Shen Xu looked at Old Master Zhao who had been talking for a long time but did not get to the point. He could not help but urge him,
"What are you anxious about? I haven't finished speaking!”
When the old man heard Shen Xu's words, he said with a smile,
He picked up the glass of water and took a sip of water before clearing his throat and saying,
"The most recent transaction record of Tang Bohu's work was the 13th year of the auction house's 'Pine Cliff Estate Painting.' At that time, the transaction price was more than 70 million!”
"As for your 'Lunar Spring Painting', if it's well preserved and has a history that can be traced, it should be worth at least 100 million!”
