Chapter 487 Fake paintings collected by Hitler
Yu Yao nodded, "It's just that I don't know, the so-called Hitler's collection was actually copied by Jin Erye! Rumors say that at that time, many people thought that the "Hundred Steeds" in the Qing Palace was stolen by Wang Jingwei and given to him. Hitler! It didn’t come out until after 1942, and it turned out to be a fake!”

Shangguan Yu nodded, "He Shangshan took the picture away with his eyes, and it was still in his hands at the time, and he also found out the whereabouts of the other two pictures later. One of them is the one you said you gave to Hitler; the other one , It is said that it was bought by a collector for several thousand oceans."

"Collector? So you're still taking medicine?"

"No. It is said that when this painting was sold, it went through a well-known middleman, so I told the truth; at the same time, this collector is not weak in eyesight, and he bought it as a high imitation when he bought it. Moreover, he admires Jin Er very much. I still want to find Second Master Jin, but Second Master Jin passed away not long after."

"Then, how did the other one get into Hitler's hands?"

"According to He Shangshan's investigation, a key person is involved here—Chen Bijun, who is Wang Jingwei's wife."

It is said that Chen Bijun likes calligraphy and painting very much, and he can do a few strokes himself, so he is a bit conceited in appreciating calligraphy and painting, and he does not restrain himself in front of experts, which arouses some people's resentment.

And this "Hundred Steeds Picture" was transferred to a very powerful antique dealer several times.This antique dealer is Chen Bijun who brought this "Hundred Horses Picture" to the mansion to meet.

After Chen Bijun saw it, he asked him where he came from?He said he bought it from Yanjing.Chen Bijun said, this thing should be in the Forbidden City!
The antique dealer explained that when buying and selling things in the shop, you don't ask the details, but only talk about the price.

Chen Bijun then gave some "pointing", talking about Castiglione and the characteristics of this painting.

The antique dealer asked Chen Bijun to verify the authenticity.

Chen Bijun finally decided that this was Castiglione's masterpiece, and it should have flowed from the Forbidden City.

In fact, this "Picture of Hundred Horses" cannot be regarded as the independent completion of Jin Erye.After he finished the painting, he had to find someone to sign it, inscribe it, seal it, and even mount it. There are a series of procedures behind it.However, drawing the heart is still the most important thing, and for these follow-up things, it is not difficult to find corresponding masters from the "back door made" shops.

Seeing Chen Bijun's confirmation, the antique dealer said: "It's not real, it's a copy."

He suddenly revealed the truth at the end, and the reason for it is difficult to determine, because He Shangshan didn't know the antique dealer well.People are different, no one knows what he thinks.It may be because he is afraid of making trouble, or because he dislikes Chen Bijun and deliberately pooh-poohed her face; or it may be because he is really not sure.

However, Chen Bijun believed that it was the real thing, and said that the antique dealer had poor eyesight and pointed out that the real thing was fake, and he was afraid of being exposed. He might be suspected of stealing the painting from the Forbidden City!
In the end, Chen Bijun really bought this "Hundred Horses Picture".

In 1939, Wang Jingwei gave this "Hundred Horses" as a birthday gift to Hitler.Hitler's eyesight, uh, he probably didn't have much eyesight in this area, anyway, he regarded it as the real thing, and solemnly collected it as a precious cultural relic of China.

So at that time, many people believed that it was Wang Jingwei who stole "Hundred Horses" from the Forbidden City.

In fact, as early as 1933, there was a plan to move the cultural relics of the Forbidden City to the south.From February to May 1933, the Forbidden City removed five batches of cultural relics, totaling 2 boxes and 5 packages.Among them, there are as many as 13427 paintings and calligraphy, including the real "Hundred Horses" by Castiglione Castiglione.The final destination of Lang Shining's "Hundred Horses" is the Forbidden City on Taiwan Island.

However, after ten years of migration, these cultural relics have traveled across most of China.Therefore, when Wang Jingwei sent the "Hundred Steeds" to Hitler in 1939, it was indeed not easy to verify some specific things.

A few years later, the rumor was dispelled.The genuine "Hundred Horses Picture" is safe and sound, and is still in Huaxia; and this imitation, some people also know, it turned out to be the so-called "Jin Erye"'s handwriting!

It's just a pity that this Second Master Jin didn't even leave his full name.

"So that's it!" Yu Yao couldn't help but sighed, "In this way, it is indeed possible to buy Zhao's "Journey through the Wild Forest" at a price higher than other high-quality imitations! One of the "Hundred Steeds" has a reason."

"It's the same, but this "Wild Forest Journey" is different from "Hundred Steeds" after all! It's just that Jin Erye imitated Castiglione, signed Castiglione, and 'created' a painting. So, you can spend a little more, but It can’t be too much, 50 is already my upper limit. Besides, I read it carefully just now, and I have already remembered some things in my heart.”

"Your talent in calligraphy and painting is incomparable!" Yu Yao sighed, "Just because Mr. Zhuo taught you the characteristics of Jin Erye's imitation of Castiglione, you can be sure that this "Wild Forest Journey" is a gold painting. Second Master's handwriting is indeed too powerful!"

"If you don't paint with a brush, some things do depend on real objects; but I have painting experience, so when he talks, he may have a deeper understanding. Of course, the eyesight must be guaranteed."

Yu Yao smiled slightly, "If he really sends it to a big auction house and they don't accept it, you still have a chance."

"Let it take its course, since there is a price limit, I won't force it." Shangguan Yu became calmer at this time.

The two chatted for a while, left the cafe, and went to have lunch.

In the afternoon, Yu Yao and Shangguan Yu arrived at the hospital and found Zhao Mingxing.

The timing was quite coincidental. Zhao Mingxing's wife had just finished her drip and fell asleep.Zhao Mingxing chatted with them for a while in the stairwell on the side of the ward.

There were still people going up and down the stairwell from time to time, but there was no way, Zhao Mingxing could not go far; he could only pay attention to his surroundings when asking.Fortunately, I just asked about the origin of Jin Bosheng's calligraphy.

After Shangguan Yu briefly said a few words about the transaction, he then got to the point.

Before and after can be counted as two deals, his wife's postoperative condition is also good, Zhao Mingxing's attitude is quite good.

"The calligraphy you bought, I heard from my grandfather, and it was also bought by my great-grandfather."

"Oh? The content of this calligraphy is a bit special, why did you buy it?" Shangguan Yu asked again.

"That's right, it seems to be in 1949. The owner of a shop was arrested for reselling cultural relics. After that, I don't know who took over the shop. They sold the things in the shop. My great-grandfather bought them by case , I bought a small box, which mainly contains calligraphy and paintings, and there is such a picture in it, and I didn’t buy it specially.”

When Yu Yao heard it, the shop owner he was talking about should be Jin Bosheng.Jin Bosheng was sentenced, in fact, because he went to the Northeast to buy cultural relics from the Palace of Manchukuo.

"There are only paintings and calligraphy in this box?" Shangguan Yu was a little anxious.If there is no other content, this thread is equivalent to being broken again.
