Han Fuli and the other elders nodded, clearly agreeing with the two masters.
"Tang An, since you said that you can turn this painting into an authentic work, why don't you let us broaden our horizons on the spot? How is it?"
Han Fuli was very curious about how Tang An could turn this painting into an authentic work.
Although they had only known each other for a short time, Han Fuli felt that Tang An was not the kind of person who liked to brag.
Su Shifang was also interested. He looked at Tang An curiously."The old man is also very curious about how President Tang turned this painting into an authentic work.”
Yuan Jili nodded, obviously the same.
Tang An smiled and walked to the table under everyone's gaze.
"Since you all want to know, I'll give it a try.”
"Oh?" Su Shifang was obviously even more curious.
"I wonder if Elder Su knows about the term 'Hidden Seal'?" Tang An didn't answer but asked Su Shifang.
"Hidden Seal?"
Su Shifang frowned. He had been in the industry for so many years and had appraised at least 70,000 to 80,000 paintings. He had never heard of the term hidden seal.
"Forgive me for my ignorance, but I don't know what you mean by 'Tibetan Seal', Mr. Tang.”Su Shifang was very puzzled and even more curious.
Of course you don't know, because I made it up.
Tang An snickered.
He had to find an excuse for what was going to happen next. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain later. Moreover, his professional knowledge in appraisal was limited, so he could only make up an excuse at the last minute.
"I happened to read it in an ancient book. It vaguely mentioned that there were some painters in the middle of the Ming Dynasty who liked to study this kind of seal technique.”
"Actually, it's very simple. I think Elder Su has determined so many literary works and calligraphy paintings. He should have encountered the kind without words, the kind that requires water bubbles or fire to appear.”
"I know this. I learned it in school. As long as you write on paper with vinegar, the words will disappear. However, when you burn it with fire, the words will appear again. Because vinegar is an acidic substance, it will seep into the fiber. After being baked with fire, the acidic substance will accelerate the carbonation of the fiber, so the words will turn yellow because of carbonation.”
As soon as Tang An finished speaking, Yan Wei, who was behind him, immediately spoke up and explained to everyone from a scientific point of view.
"Not bad, not bad. As expected, I didn't go to university in vain. I've learned something.”Tang An nodded and praised Yan Wei.
The latter immediately raised her head proudly, as if she was saying that she was a top student at Jianghai University.
"Pfft…"
Lin Ruoxi was amused by Yan Wei.
Han Fuli, Su Shifang, and Yuan Jili were also amused by Yan Wei's behavior.
This time, Yan Wei was even more proud.
Did you see that? This was the strength of a top student.
"Silly girl, can't you tell that this kid is mocking you?”Han Fuli shook his head slightly. He was worried about Yan Wei's IQ.
Tang An was obviously praising her, but this kind of knowledge was clearly junior high school chemistry knowledge. It meant that Yan Wei was already a university student and only knew junior high school knowledge.
However, this silly girl could not tell and thought that Tang An was praising her.
Han Fuli shook his head helplessly. However, he felt that Yan Wei was very cute like this.
Su Shifang was also amused. He felt that Yan Wei was very interesting. He could tell too, but he did not expose her.
Wouldn't it be embarrassing for the girl to say it out loud?
"Mr. Tang, just like this lady said, writing in a special way can indeed hide the handwriting, but what does the handwriting have to do with the hidden imprint you mentioned?”
"Could it be…?"
As he said this, a thought that he did not believe appeared in Su Shifang's mind.
Could it be that Tang An meant that the seal of the 'Spring Tree Autumn Frost Painting' had been hidden?
Just like those words that had been specially processed, they could only be revealed by a special method?
"That's right." Tang An knew that Su Shifang had already guessed it.
"Really? No…it was impossible. The words could be hidden using a special method, but the seal was different.”
Yuan Jili frowned. He also thought of Tang An's meaning.
However, no matter how one looked at it, the seal could not be hidden.
Firstly, there was no need to. It was not something confidential, so why should he hide it?
Secondly, the artist wanted his painting to be immortalized. Only the seal could prove his identity. If he hid it, who knew if the painting was painted by him or not?
Thirdly, and most importantly, would there really be someone so bored as to research such a method to hide the seal?
Yuan Jili raised his doubts carefully, and the others nodded in agreement.
They all felt that no one would be so bored as to research such technology.
"Tang An, are you making this up?" Elder Han's eyes were filled with suspicion.
He had made up the story of the seal being hidden, but it was the truth that the seal was really hidden.
"You'll know whether it's true or not later, Uncle Han. After all, seeing is believing."”
"That's right. Seeing is believing. In that case, please open your eyes for us, Mr. Tang!”Su Shifang was even a little anxious.
If it was really as Tang An said, the seal of this painting was hidden by the bored Tang Yin.
But this painting was different.
Previously, many people thought that Tang An was a standard fool for spending 10 million yuan on this painting.
However, if he could prove that this painting was authentic, he would make a huge profit.
Su Shifang conservatively estimated that if this painting was authentic, it would be worth at least 150 million yuan.
After all, judging from the painting technique and the thickness of the ink used, this Painting of Spring Trees and Autumn Frost was the best among all of Tang Yin's works.
Moreover,
This painting had been circulating among the people for so many years, but it had never appeared before.
Once it appeared, it would definitely be like an earthquake.
"Everyone, please wait a moment. I'll go prepare something before coming back.”
