This is the fourth day of arrival in Florence, the sun is shining and the weather is very good.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Ye Tian and the others were sitting in the living room of the presidential suite, drinking coffee while enjoying the view of Florence's old city through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows. It was very pleasant.
As always, yesterday's sweep of the antique art market in Florence went very smoothly, and it was a rewarding experience!
In this ancient city known as the art capital, Ye Tian discovered many valuable and neglected antique artworks, many of which are top-notch items.
Faced with such an opportunity, it is of course not to be missed. This is one of his main purposes for coming to Florence.
With almost negligible prices, through various techniques and methods, he successfully won a lot of valuable antique art and ransacked the antique art market in Florence.
As for those antique works of relatively mediocre value, Bowie, who followed behind, took the shots, and he took all of them.
Even if some antique shop owners and gallery owners are very cautious, in order to avoid being ransacked by Ye Tian frantically, they have been asking prices and even made it clear not to do his business.
However, they still cannot avoid the tragic fate of being looted.
These antique dealers and gallery owners wanted to get it. Long before coming to Florence, Ye Tian had prepared a back hand to deal with them and deal with this situation.
His back hand was Bowie who copied his London accent.
For a whole day, Ye Tian and the others visited almost all the slightly famous and large-scale antique shops and galleries in the old city of Florence.
Wherever they went, it was like being swept by a hurricane, and there was mourning everywhere, but they swept away all the valuable and neglected antique works of art, and there was no hair left.
However, those antique shop owners and gallery owners who were ransacked wildly were at a loss and did not know what they had lost.
Until dusk, when the raid was about to end, at the begging of a gallery owner, Ye Tiancai explained to the public a classical oil painting he had just bought.
It was an outstanding painting by the top art masters of the late Renaissance and the most famous painter of the Venetian school, known as the "sun among the stars" and Titian.
Moreover, it is Titian's paintings in his later years, which are almost impossible to encounter in the art market. The artistic value is extremely high, and the market value is naturally extraordinary.
After explaining the classical oil painting by Titian, he gave an estimate on the spot. The value of the painting is no less than 180 million euros. If it is sold, it will definitely be able to sell for a higher price.
The moment he gave his valuation, the gallery owner almost passed away on the spot and his heart burst and died.
Afterwards, they left the small well-known gallery and drove back to the Villa Medici Hotel.
Before the convoy returned to the hotel, Ye Tian discovered and ransacked the news of an outstanding painting by Titian in his later years. The wind spread throughout Florence and caused a huge sensation.
Even many insiders in the field of antique art collection in other cities in Italy, and even in other parts of the world, soon received the news, and they were all stunned.
After the news spread, the antique shop owners and gallery owners who had been visited by Ye Tian before suddenly realized that he must have been ransacked by Steven's bastard.
However, until this time, they still don't understand, what is the value of the things that Steven that **** bought from his store, and what is the value?
Over the night, the sensation caused by the appearance of the Titian painting in his later years has not subsided, but has intensified.
Early this morning, two groups of people appeared at the entrance of the Hotel Villa Medici.
One group came to petition, mainly students from the Florence Academy of Fine Arts, as well as some professional and amateur painters. They begged Ye Tian to keep the Titian painting in Florence.
In their view, it is a rare and top-level artwork. It belongs to the spiritual wealth of the city of Florence and should stay here.
Another group of people, mainly composed of large and small antique dealers, and some ordinary citizens of Florence, as well as a few tourists who claim to be righteous, but actually have nothing to do!
They came to protest against Ye Tian's vicious looting of the antique art market in Florence, and asked him to return the antique art looted yesterday.
No matter petitions or protests, Ye Tian didn't bother to take care of him, ignoring the noise at the hotel entrance.
While talking, it was almost half past nine in the morning, and Cole's voice suddenly came from the headset.
"Steven, the gendarmes of the Italian cultural relics are here, and the guy who takes the lead is Giovanni. In addition, Mario from the Florence Academy of Fine Arts is also here.
There is also the director of the Uffizi Gallery and two top art appraisal experts. These guys have come together and have arrived in the hotel lobby. They want to see you! "
After hearing the announcement, Ye Tian did not immediately respond, but raised his hand to check the time, then smiled and said:
"These guys must have heard the wind. Obviously they came for the painting of Titian's later years. In the style of Italians, we don't even want to leave Italy with this painting.
Undoubtedly, as long as those Italian military police see this oil painting and determine that it is Titian's work in his later years, they will definitely include this painting in the list of restricted-departure artworks as soon as possible.
There is still some time now, and it’s okay to meet those guys. We are going to visit the Uffizi Gallery today. If the director of the Uffizi Gallery is shut out, it would be somewhat inappropriate.
Let them come up, I am waiting for them in the suite, and the Sotheby’s auction house will also be here later, and they will be able to appraise them together and promote the public auction in the future."
"Understood, Steven, I will send someone to bring them up."
Cole replied in a deep voice and acted immediately.
A few minutes later, Cole walked into the presidential suite with a group of Italians.
These guys are familiar faces, and some have dealt with them before, such as the cultural relics gendarmerie, Mario from the Florence Academy of Fine Arts, and several others.
As for the director of the Uffizi Gallery and the two top art appraisal experts, although they have not met before, they have seen their photos and heard of their names.
Without exception, these guys are top professionals in the field of antique art collection, and everyone is not simple.
After meeting each other and greeted each other briefly, Giovanni said with a wry smile:
"It seems that we shouldn't let you into Italy at all. Just like Paris, London, Nice and other cities, Florence has not escaped the poisonous hands. You were ransacked by you!
In addition to the previous painting by Botticelli, and yesterday's work from Titian's later years, I don't know what other top antique works of art you have discovered~www.novelhall.com~Can you tell us about it? "
Hearing this, everyone on the scene immediately looked at Ye Tian. Everyone's eyes were full of expectation and envy, and their eyes were almost red.
Ye Tian nodded lightly, then smiled triumphantly and said:
"Florence is worthy of being the capital of art and the birthplace of the Renaissance. There are so many good things. It is no exaggeration to say that the city is full of treasures.
In addition to the two top art works, I also found a copy of Machiavelli's "On the Monarch", which was the first edition in 1513, but it was a bit damaged,..."
Before the words were over, the scene was completely fried. These Italians all hugged their heads and exclaimed, their expressions and tone of voice were extremely exaggerated.
"God! Machiavelli's "On the Monarch", and it was the first edition in 1513, I heard that right? The first edition of "On the Monarch", there are only two books in Italy."
"If it is really the first edition of "The Monarch", then there is no doubt that it must be a national treasure of Italy, which is of great research value and extremely precious!"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
