money trouble

Chapter 239
The highest price paid for an oil painting by Sandro Botticelli at auction was "Madonna and Child with Young St. John", which sold for $2013 million at Christie's in New York in 1040.

Da Vinci's "Salvator Mundi" took 4.5 million dollars, and the difference between 4.5 million and 1040 million is dozens of times. This is the gap between the recognition of the world and the height of art.

Kukes really wanted to send the painting "Baby in Violet" to his friend, but in the end he held back, because the relationship is very important, and he must not act rashly. If there is any news about Da Vinci's oil painting According to the rumors, the three major Italian families can definitely think of their BOSS side!

In the royal attic suite, guests and hosts sit separately. The atmosphere this time is obviously much better than last night at Leeds Castle. At least there are no guns exposed outside. The heirs of the three major families consciously brought translators, as well as appraisers... ...extremely well-prepared.

"Three, I'm afraid you received the news last night, right?" Wu Qian asked.

The descendants of the three major families smiled and said nothing. It is not right to admit this kind of thing, and it is meaningless to deny it. It is better not to say it.

"It's rare for the few of you to endure all night... Didn't you sleep well?"

Wu Qian glanced over the faces of the old foxes, and said with a smile: "Art has no borders, I believe you all agree with this sentence."

Get primary vaccination first!It means that your Italian famous paintings are the same with me, it doesn’t matter.

"I did find Da Vinci's oil painting from Leeds Castle. Today is to fulfill my promise and ask a few of you to come and enjoy it."

Of course Wu Qian would not admit that "Little Cupid" is an oil painting by Sandro Botticelli, the most brilliant liar, he must first deceive himself into believing himself... Wu Qian hinted to himself, I am just an oil painting, And this is Da Vinci's oil painting!
Lapo Elkann is in a great mood. Leeds Castle aside, he likes Wu Qian, a young man from the Chinese dynasty, and the other party has repeatedly expressed his admiration for his family's Ferrari supercar. He is like-minded. .

"Dear Wu, I knew you were a trustworthy friend. Come on, let's take a look at this masterpiece of art that has been buried for 500 years, shall we?" Pointing to the wooden board with the back facing out beside the sofa, he knew that this must be the oil painting.

Wu Qian nodded with a smile, then ordered his four bodyguards to protect him, carefully held the painting in his hands, and turned to face the heirs of the three major Italian families.

The three of Lapo Elkann held their breath, stood up one after another, and waited very solemnly. The appraisers were also very solemn. Today is a great day, and the time to witness the miracle has come!

The drawing board turned slowly, and when the oil painting was fully exposed, everyone's eyes were wide open. First, they subconsciously let out an exclamation, and then let out a light sigh. Lapo Elkann wanted to take a closer look, but was caught by Bauer. blocked.

The first feeling of the three of them seeing the oil painting was amazing, but the second feeling was a bit wrong.

The descendants of the three major families are all Italians, and they have deep research on Renaissance oil paintings. After all, they are descendants of the big families, and art knowledge is a very basic course.

The three of them feel that the style of this painting is completely wrong. If you don't mention Da Vinci, the master, just the oil painting in front of you is very good.But if it was said that it was written by Da Vinci, everyone shook their heads, it is impossible!

The appraisers who came with the three major families frowned. This painting... They immediately denied that it couldn't be Da Vinci's handwriting.

Every master-level painter will have his own unique technique. In this painting, the appraiser did not see a trace of Da Vinci's technique.

The three successors and appraisers looked at me and I looked at you, dumbfounded.

"Wu... you..." Labo Elkann was the first to sit back on the chair, frowning and said, "This is the oil painting you found from Leeds Castle? I want to take back what I just said, you are not trustworthy at all! "

Wu Qian was not happy when he heard this, and frowned at Rapo Elkann, and said, "What do you mean? I didn't find it from Leeds Castle, so you say I found it from the British Museum. Or stole it from the Louvre? Could it be that I painted it myself!"

Wu Qian was "filled with righteous indignation" and kindly asked you to come and appreciate the "great" artwork, but he was so stupid!
Clarke Vecchio and Olawon Berlusconi will also sit back in their seats now, without the need for an appraiser, they have roughly identified which master's work it is, and they all frown and remain silent, thinking about it.

Lapo Elkann stared at Wu Qian's eyes for about ten seconds, and found that there was indeed anger in the other party's eyes. He shook his head slightly and said, "Wu, although what I said may hurt you, I still want to say , this...is not Da Vinci's handwriting!"

Wu Qian chuckled, gently put the painting aside and stood it up, and said in a deep voice: "You three, I'm afraid you have discussed it, so form a group to fool me. No matter what I find out, you all insist that it is not Da · A Finch painting, isn't it?"

The three have weird expressions on their faces, so what?Even if you did that, are you a fool...

"No, Wu, you really misunderstood us." Labo Erkan justified a sentence, and continued: "We don't need to do that, and it is impossible for us to do that kind of thing that slanders Da Vinci. Absolutely Won't."

Wu Qian naturally knew that this was not Da Vinci's oil painting, but he wanted to continue acting, otherwise it would be difficult.

"I searched all night and even tore down the door. I found a painting and happily invited you to come and appreciate it together. You just opened your mouth and said it was fake. It's so boring..." Wu Qian said speechlessly.

Clark Viggio sighed and said: "Wu, you misunderstood again, we didn't think this painting was fake, and judging by my level, there is an 85% possibility that this painting is Sandro Authentic work of Botticelli."

"If you want to confirm the authenticity, you can give the oil painting to these appraisers. They have certain authority in the appraisal of Western oil paintings." Rapo Erkan said.

"Sandro Botticelli?" Wu Qian tried his best to show a dazed look, and asked with a frown, "Who is this? Your Italian names are too long to remember!"

Ghosts have kung fu talking about this with Wu Qian. Clark Vegio popularized the life of Sandro Botticelli for Wu Qian, and pointed out some painting techniques in the paintings, and then used his mobile phone to find a few pictures of Sandro Botticelli. Dro Botticelli's paintings make Wu Qian contrast.

In the end, through the "free" appraisal by the appraiser brought by the three, it was determined that this was Sandro Botticelli's oil painting, and 90.00% of it was authentic, and the remaining one percent was for his retreat... …
