NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 145
Chapter 145 Picture-in-Picture! Qi Baishi’s Summer Twelve Screens!!
The art gallery’s paintings are divided into 3 levels.
The most common is to use a shelf clamp, 10 sheets a shelf. Slightly better simple mounting, hanging in a glass cabinet. The best is to put it in a picture frame and hang it on top of it.
What Jiang Fan found wrong was a few framed paintings.
Jiang Fan walked to the cabinet.
This is a plain ink dragonfly, simple style, looks very childlike.
There are also a lot of brush words written on the side, about a certain summer day, and I drew this painting.
As for the specific value, Jiang Fan could not understand it.
Jiang Fan looked at the author’s information.
Lin Xianquan, never heard of it.
Searched the Internet, and there was no record of the painter.
Look at the age of birth and death: 1894-1958.
Like most ordinary painters, they died silently and unnoticed.
There is also a nameplate attached to the lower right corner of the painting, which writes the basic information of the painting: 137cm high, 68cm wide, and the standard size of the 8-foot landscape painting of Longguo.
Purchased in 1970.
The place of purchase was New York, and Rodriguez personally purchased it from Lin’s son.
At that time, he was poor and sick, and he could only sell all his father’s last works in exchange for full money to treat his illness.
The nameplate also records that lin xunquan’s son died of illness half a year later, and lin washquan had no descendants.
Lin Xianquan’s life looks ordinary, an artist who fled to the moldy country during the war years.
Rodriguez bought more than 100 paintings of Lin Xiquan, selected 12 of the most artistically valuable frames, and the rest were preserved on the shelves of Xi Tong.
In addition to dragonflies, there are 11 more.
They are all crickets, shrimp, tadpoles and the like, and all kinds of flowers, birds, insects and fish in summer, which are very vivid and interesting.
Everything is normal, the key is that when Jiang Fan first came, he accidentally saw the voice of the dragonfly painting: “Don’t stick to me, it’s so uncomfortable!” 】
The problem is that the painting is framed and hung separately.
Jiang Fan’s first reaction was that there was still a painting hidden behind the painting.
Jiang Fan thought for a while, opened the glass cabinet, and took off the eye-catching painting.
He examined the dragonfly paintings carefully and looked normal.

Looking at the strong light, I did not find any shadows of other paintings behind the painting.
There was no way, he could only take out a knife and gently cut a line in the corner of the painting.
Then gently flick away.
Really! There’s another painting after it!
Jiang Fan carefully tore it open.
I took out the second painting completely.
To Jiang Fan’s surprise, the content and text of the painting were exactly the same as the first painting, almost completely coinciding.
No wonder you can’t see the shadow in the glare.
It turned out to be completely obscured by the first painting.
Only the drop is slightly different.
The name of the drop is Qi Huang.
Jiang Fan has been on the Internet, and then it is the famous Qi Baishi!
“Sleeper!”
Jiang Fan immediately took out Lin Xunquan’s other paintings.
It turned out that except for the 12 hangings, the other paintings were significantly worse.
As for where the difference is, Jiang Fan can’t say it clearly, but this is an indescribable beauty gap.
Just like ordinary people look at the European-style court style interior decoration designed by the master, it is very luxurious to look at the garbage designer to make the four different from the European court style, it is very earthy.
Little by little, Jiang Fan cut open the other 11 framed paintings, and sure enough, there were Qi Baishi’s paintings in the back!
If you cut open the others, there is none.
In the end, Jiang Fan got 12 paintings of Qi Baishi’s flowers, birds, insects and fish.
These 12 paintings, similar in style and similar in subject matter, are all summer landscapes.
It should be a whole set.
Didn’t say, it’s time to shake people.
Jiang Fan took a picture directly and sent it to Zhang Wentao.
In less than half a minute, Zhang Wentao called over, and inside was his aggrieved voice.
“Jiang Shen! You are not authentic! Let’s say yes! Treasure Hunt take me, how did you go on your own again! ”
Jiang Fan also saw a video of his thoughts on the phone, Zhang Wentao was about in a certain hotel, and a woman next to him seemed to have just taken a shower, was wearing makeup, and was dressed very coolly.
Sleeper! Jiang Fan quickly stopped watching.
A friend’s wife can’t cheat.
I’m not Cao Cheng Xiang.
Jiang Fan explained: “Didn’t I come to Hawaii for a tour? The other day I made some money and bought a manor, who knows I actually found this. Pure accident. ”
Zhang Wentao naturally did not believe it, and was noisy: “Accident? Others say accident I believe, you say accident do you think I will believe? You must have calculated it in advance! Admit it, my sister has told me everything, you are a fortune teller! ”
Jiang Fan didn’t bother to argue with him: “Right, right! I’m a fortune teller! Don’t talk nonsense, hurry up and find an expert to identify…”
Zhang Wentao said the right thing: “It has been given to you, but if it is not a forgery, you will be rich again!” That’s Qi Baishi’s painting! And a total of 12 pairs, the same theme! ”
Jiang Fan thought that the real thing was extremely likely, and Lin Xianquan and Qi Baishi were people of the same era.
About 20-30 years younger, perhaps related to Qi Baishi, there is a great possibility of getting a gift of paintings.
As for why Lin Xianquan hid Qi Baishi’s painting, and he had not yet told his son.
The truth can no longer be found, Lin Xianquan’s father and son are dead, and the real reason has become a hanging stem solved by heaven.
Jiang Fan didn’t care about these details either.
While waiting for Zhang Wentao’s results, he checked the voices of other paintings.
See if there’s anything else to be gained.
Tens of thousands of paintings, it is still very difficult to fight.
Jiang Fan didn’t have time to rummaging through them one by one, and could only glance at the past roughly.
In the end, there was no second accident.
Jiang Fan did not find anything abnormal in his heart.
Lin’s paintings are just exceptions.
At this time, Zhang Wentao sent back a message: “Preliminary evaluation by experts: The real handwriting, according to the payment, is about the painting of the old man Qi Baishi after he was 63 years old. After the old man Qi Baishi turned 63 years old, Qi Pu’s ‘Huang’ character is characterized by the left point under the word ‘by’ and the Yan vertical stroke in the word ‘by’. ”
“In order to be finalized, it must be identified on-site by experts.”
Jiang Fan said, “If it is the real thing, let Zhang Shengsheng be responsible for the auction.” ”
Zhang Wentao said happily, “Jiang Shen! Worthy of being a brother! Experts have said that Qi Baishi’s paintings have been handed down a lot, the prices are different, and there are many differences in the prices of paintings of different ages. This set of summer twelve screens, painting skills for qi Baishi’s peak work, but also a complete set, if the overall auction, the price should be between 400 million and 500 million. ”
Jiang Fan thought about it.
400 million RMB is about $70 million.
Good, good, this manor is again made for nothing.
“Then you send someone to identify it.”
“Jiang Fan put the twelve summer screens into the safe and left the art museum satisfied.”
