"This landscape painting is so beautiful. No wonder Ye Tian said that this is a top-level work of art, and it deserves its name!"

"I don't know which western artist this is the work? The artist who can create such a painting must be a top artist with a reputation"

Everyone gradually awoke, and there was a sound of discussion in the banquet hall.

The professionals in the banquet hall have their eyes shining, staring at the painting on the display stand, their eyes are extremely hot, even a bit greedy!

"Ye Tian, ​​if I read it right, this should be a landscape painting by the French Barbizon School of the 19th century. Isn't the artist who created this painting Rousseau?"

Mr. Liu, who was sitting in the audience, asked aloud, in a very excited tone.

While    asked loudly, his eyes were always fixed on the landscape oil painting on the stage, and his gaze never shifted for a moment.

Obviously, this magnificent landscape oil painting has deeply moved him, and he also wants to include this top-level artwork in his bag.

However, the bidding method of this charity auction made him scratch his head. No matter how rich he is, he may not be able to win the painting as he wishes.

As soon as his voice fell, the manager of Poly Auction House, who was sitting at a dining table not far away, said:

"Yes, I look like Rousseau's paintings. In the Barbizon school, only Rousseau can paint such a magnificent landscape with a touch of romanticism."

Hearing what they said, Ye Tian, ​​who was standing next to the landscape oil painting, nodded gently, and then said with a smile:

"Your eyes are very sharp, yes, this is a landscape oil painting by Theodore Rousseau, a famous French painter, top art master, and leader of the Barbizon school in the 19th century.

This oil painting was created at the peak of Rousseau's artistic career. It was basically created in the same period as his most famous masterpiece, "The Eve of Fontainebleau", and it is a top-level artwork of invaluable value.

As for the scenery in the painting, it was taken from a plain in the lower reaches of the Seine, not too far from the Fontainebleau Forest. After more than a hundred years, the scenery in the painting no longer exists.

I was really reluctant to take out this painting for auction, but fortunately, I still have another Rousseau's work and several landscape paintings of the Barbizon school, so I reluctantly gave up! "

Although many people have already guessed this result, listening to Ye Tian personally said it, and explained that this painting is the work of Rousseau at the peak of his artistic career, many professionals on the scene were still shocked!

"Let me go! It is indeed a painting by the artist Rousseau, and it is his peak work, there is no doubt that this landscape oil painting must be invaluable!"

"Rousseau's peak paintings, Ye Tian's heart is really too big, such a top art piece is willing to put it out for auction, and it is a public auction, this has to be exchanged for someone else, who can afford it?"

Unlike these professionals, most of the non-professionals on the scene did not know Rousseau, and even conflated this top artist with the famous Enlightenment thinker.

"Isn't Rousseau a French enlightenment thinker and philosopher of the 18th century? When did he become a top art master and traveled to France in the 19th century?"

"Obviously, this Rousseau is not Pi Rousseau, the foreigner’s name is just like this, there are too many duplicate names, such as the name ‘Jean’. It is estimated that 1/3 of the men in France call this name"

The reactions of everyone in the audience were all caught in Ye Tian's eyes.

Just when everyone was talking about it, he suddenly raised his hands and gently pressed it down to signal everyone to be quiet.

Following his actions, the scene soon became quiet, everyone was watching him and looking forward to his explanation.

The next moment, Ye Tian said with a smile on his face:

"There are many non-professionals. Some people may not understand the Barbizon school and Rousseau who created this landscape oil painting. Here, I think it is necessary to introduce it.

I must first emphasize that this top artist Rousseau is Theodore Rousseau, not the French eighteenth-century enlightenment thinker Rousseau, nor the famous French post-impressionist painter Rousseau.

Let’s talk about the famous Barbizon school. They refer to a group of French landscape painters who lived and painted in the town of Barbizon near the Forest of Fontainebleau during the years.

They formed an informal art genre, or a group of artists, that is the Barbizon School. They were the first painters to compare natural sketches instead of creating landscape paintings in the studio.

The Barbizon School’s creative attitude, and their true portrayal of pastoral scenery and characters, influenced the later impressionist style of painting, and was also called the spiritual source of impressionism by the Western art world.

And the master of art Theodore Rousseau is the leader of the Barbizon school and one of the most outstanding representatives of the Barbizon school. He holds an extremely important position in the history of Western art.

Rousseau insists on painting with an objective attitude. His landscape paintings are known for their strong colors, bold brushstrokes, and unique themes. Appreciating his paintings will always give people a sense of grandeur.

He combines realism with romanticism, keen to give nature a magnificent sense of sight, and strives to reflect the diversity of scenery, thus he is known as the ‘Delacroix among landscape painters’.

This is an artist with a poetic temperament. He uses color to depict the vitality contained in nature. The so-called nature here is not just mountains and rivers, nor just clouds in the sky.

The nature under Rousseau's brush, including all living and non-living things in nature, is an unruly nature. He uses a spiritual realm to express and praise the potential vitality of the universe,..."

Next, Ye Tian combined with the landscape painting on the display stand to briefly introduce the Barbizon school, introduce Rousseau, the master of art, and explain the painting to everyone on the scene.

Listening to his vivid and professional explanation, everyone at the scene was unconsciously immersed in it, and he was taken into the artistic conception created by this painting, wandering in the magnificent landscape.

It took about three to five minutes before Ye Tian finished the explanation.

Then, he turned around and walked to the auction stand, ready to start the last auction.

Everyone at the scene was also awake, all looking at him and the painting on the display stand, everyone's eyes were extremely hot.

After    came to the auction and stood still, Ye Tian quickly scanned the audience, and then opened the curtain of the last auction.

The next moment, his clear voice came from the stage.

"I will not introduce more about this landscape painting by the artist Rousseau. Like all the antique artworks I have photographed before, I can endorse the authenticity of this painting.

That is to say, if you take this painting and go back for identification, and you are in doubt about the authenticity of this painting, then send this painting back to me, and I will get it back at the auction price.

The gossip ends here. The auction is now starting. Like the 29 antique artworks before, the starting price of this top art artwork is one yuan, one yuan, who should pay? "

Before the words fell, someone in the audience raised their arms impatiently and shouted in excitement:

"Here, Ye Tian, ​​I'll pay the price"

It was an auction house manager who asked for the price, and he seemed a little impatient.

But this is just the beginning, the prelude to the competition has just begun.

Ye Tianchong, the auction house manager, nodded gently, then smiled and said loudly:

"Okay, Mr. Yuan from Jiuge should offer one yuan. Thank you for your support. Now we are entering the second round. The second round of quotations is 10 million yuan. Which buyer should make the offer? Please raise your arm!

The first moment this quotation was released~www.novelhall.com~The frying pan was on the spot in the banquet hall.

"Isn't it? Is there something wrong with my ears? I started shooting at 1 yuan a second, and it jumped to 10 million yuan in a blink of an eye. This is really exaggerated!"

"The second round was only 10 million yuan. Then the third, fourth, and fifth rounds of free bidding, what kind of amazing prices will appear, I can't even think about it!"

Without exception, many non-professionals at the scene were shocked by Ye Tian's offer, and everyone was stunned and exclaimed.

But, where is this, what shocked everyone is still to come.

In a blink of an eye, the routine first four rounds of bidding have ended, and the fifth round of free bidding has come to the stage.

At this time, the quotation for this landscape oil painting by the artist Rousseau has reached 150 million yuan, a stunningly high price.

When Ye Tian announced the price loudly, and someone raised his hand to ask for the price without hesitation, the non-professionals who were on the scene suddenly felt as if they had been given a fixation technique, and they were all stunned!

Before they wake up, free bidding has begun.

In the next moment, they heard a series of amazing quotations of '198.5 million, 205 million, 245 million yuan, ...', one after another, the voice of each quotation All very firm!

The sound of these quotations, like matches thrown into the powder magazine, instantly detonated this luxurious banquet hall.
