"Wow! "The Prodigal Son Turns Back", I finally saw this famous and top artwork"

Ye Tian sighed, and then walked towards the display wall facing the entrance of the exhibition hall, his steps were a little rush, just as he was urgent and excited.

Behind him, David and the others immediately followed, and everyone was full of expectations.

In addition to them, there are also some tourists who have always followed Ye Tian and them.

At the same time, many visitors in the Rembrandt Hall also saw Ye Tian and his party, and there was a small commotion at the scene.

"Look, it's Steven, who didn't expect him to come to Rembrandt Room too"

"It's really this guy. It seems we are lucky. Maybe we can hear Steven's professional explanation. It must be very exciting."

Amidst a sound of discussion, Ye Tian has come to the display wall where "The Prodigal Son Turns Back" hung.

The many visitors who gathered here and were admiring this world-famous painting flashed to both sides in unison, and immediately gave up a passage directly in front of the exhibition wall.

"Good noon, ladies and gentlemen, this is Steven. I am glad to see you all here, and thank you very much for your kindness. I hope you all have a good day.

Ye Tian said politely with a smile, and nodded and said hello to the many visitors at the scene.

In action, he was not polite at all, and walked straight along this passage to the display wall at the end of the passage.

"Good noon, Steven, welcome to Russia, welcome to Hermitage, thank you for bringing the Amber Room back to the world and bringing this priceless treasure back to Russia"

"Steven, we are also very happy to see you here. You are one of the world's top antique art appraisal experts. Can you explain this Rembrandt painting to everyone?"

On the way, visitors from both sides greeted Ye Tian one after another and made some demands.

Ye Tian looked at these visitors from Russia and all over the world, smiled and nodded and said:

"Since you want to hear it, it is better to be respectful, so I will explain to you this master of art Rembrandt's "The Prodigal Son". I have been admired for this world-famous painting for a long time and I really want to enjoy it."

While talking, Ye Tian had already come to the display wall where "The Prodigal Son Turns Back" hung, and then stopped.

However, instead of immediately admiring the world-famous painting on the display wall, he looked at the two painters sitting in front of the display wall and the paintings they were copying.

The two painters are a man and a woman, both white, occupying the two best positions in front of the display wall.

The male painter is about 50 or 60 years old. He has a thin body, long gray-white hair, a ponytail, and a dark jacket. The paint is dotted with paint, and he looks a bit like an artist.

The female painter is about twenty years old, young and beautiful, looking a little immature, with long golden hair tied behind her head, wearing a black sweater and jeans, casual and fashionable, and full of vitality.

In front of the two painters, each supported an easel, and on the ground next to the easel were a paint box and a box filled with various oil painting tools.

Needless to say, these two painters are copying Rembrandt's "The Prodigal Son".

But compared to Rembrandt's huge paintings, their paintings are much smaller in size, less than one-third of the original paintings.

The oil paintings placed on the two easels are basically completed, and only the final finishing work is left.

Judging from the two basically completed "Prodigal Sons", the level of these two painters is very good. At first glance, their copy works are not much different from Rembrandt's original works.

Of course, there is a big difference in size. These are two pocket editions of "The Prodigal Son".

When Ye Tian looked at the two painters and the two paintings on the easel, the two painters also stood up, looked at him curiously, and smiled and nodded.

David and others who followed Ye Tian, ​​as well as Mikhail and others, also looked at the two copy works.

Mikhail obviously knew the male painter, and as soon as he got here, he greeted the male painter named Maxim and shook hands with him.

After pretending to appreciate it for a while, Ye Tian raised his head and pointed to the copy of "The Prodigal Son" by the young female painter and said:

"This lady, this is Steven. Excuse me, is this "The Prodigal Son" you copied for sale? If it is sold, I intend to accept this painting as a souvenir from this trip to St. Petersburg!"

"Ah! Do you want to buy this "Return of the Prodigal Son" that I copied? Mr. Steven, I heard that right?"

The young female painter exclaimed directly, as if she couldn't believe what she had just heard, looking at Ye Tian dumbfounded.

In an instant, a flash of ecstasy flashed in her eyes, and she almost danced.

Not only her, but everyone else on the scene, including Mikhail and the male painter, was shocked by Ye Tian's remarks. They stared at him with wide-eyed eyes full of incredible.

Before the young female painter could respond, Mikhail said first:

"Steven, this is Maxim, from the Repin Academy of Fine Arts. He is an associate professor in the Oil Painting Department of the Repin Academy of Fine Arts and a famous Russian painter."

Before he finished his words, Ye Tian stretched out his right hand to Maxim and said with a smile:

"Hello, Professor Maxim. I’m Steven. I’m glad to meet you. I’ve heard of your name a long time ago, but I’ve never seen myself. I have seen your work in New York. Not bad"

Maxim shook hands with him and said politely:

"Hello, Mr. Steven, I am also very happy to meet you. Welcome to St. Petersburg. This is my daughter Natasha, who has been studying oil painting with me since I was a child."

Following Maxim's introduction, Ye Tian shook hands with the young Russian beauty painter, and they knew each other.

Next, Mikhail interjected:

"Steven, can you tell everyone, why do you want to buy "The Prodigal Son" copied by Natasha? What is the reason?"

"Yes, I would also like to know, Mr. Steven, why did you choose "The Prodigal Son" copied by Natasha instead of the one I copied?"

Maxim continued, obviously very curious about Ye Tian's choice.

Not only him, Natasha standing beside, and everyone else on the scene wanted to know the answer to this question.

One is a well-known painter and the other is an unknown newcomer in the art world. Everyone knows that he should choose the work of that painter, even if it is just two miniature copy works!

But who would have thought, Steven did not take the usual path, and actually chose Natasha's copy of "The Prodigal Son" instead of Maxim's copy.

His choice made everyone on the scene bewildered, so I don't know why!

Ye Tian glanced at the crowd, then looked at Maxim and Natasha, as well as the two pocket editions of "The Prodigal Son" they copied.

The reason why the buddies did this is very simple. Natasha's copy is more valuable and has the potential for appreciation, even if the local details may not be as accurate as Maxim's copy.

To put it more clearly, Natasha's future artistic achievements are obviously higher than that of Lao Tzu, and the possibility of becoming a top artist is very high. At this time, the acquisition of her paintings is undoubtedly a valuable investment.

Although Maxim is a well-known painter, his achievements only stop there, and the market value of his paintings is basically certain, and there is not much room for appreciation.

In this case, anyone who is not a fool knows how to choose!

Of course, these are the thoughts in Ye Tian's heart, it is impossible to appeal to his mouth.

What came out of Ye Tian's mouth was a different story.

"There are two main reasons why I bought "The Prodigal Son" copied by Natasha. The first and the most important reason is that I like Rembrandt's "The Prodigal Son" very much.

However, this painting is the treasure of the Hermitage Museum's town hall. I will never get it, so I can only retreat and buy a copy of "The Prodigal Son".

It’s very coincidental that I saw Maxim and Natasha's copy of "The Prodigal Son's Turn Around~www.novelhall.com~" and it was almost completed. I was so excited that I wanted to accept Natasha's copy as a souvenir. .

As for why it was Natasha and not Maxim’s copying works, the reason is also very simple. One is from a cost perspective, and the other is to support young painters and purchase a possibility.

Maxim is a well-known painter, and his works are not cheap, even if they are copied; while Natasha is a newcomer in the art world, works are naturally less expensive, but they are also very good.

Because of this, I plan to acquire this painting by Natasha, and bring this copy of "The Prodigal Son" back to New York and display it in my company, adding a bit of artistic flavor to the company."

Hearing his explanation, everyone at the scene suddenly felt as if they understood Ye Tian's intentions.

There were some guys who turned their heads quickly, reacted quickly, and had sharp eyesight, such as Mikhail and David, who had already looked at Natasha, who was very happy, and his eyes shone straight!
