This Ming Dynasty landscape painting without a clear signature was bought by Zhao Zhongnan from an antique market in the capital for more than 100,000 yuan.

Although he could not tell the author or origin of this painting, he could tell from the style and material of the painting that it was made by a master of calligraphy and painting in the late Ming Dynasty. A painting and calligraphy work in the late Ming Dynasty, if it were not for the lack of clear inscription

If he knew the origin, it would be absolutely impossible for Zhao Zhongnan to get it for only a few hundred thousand.

It can be said that as long as the story and author behind the calligraphy and painting are clear, even if it is a slightly famous painter in the late Ming Dynasty, the value of the painting can increase several times, and it can even reach millions at auction.

However, for this kind of ancient calligraphy and painting works without signatures, we can only barely determine who the author is by studying the painter's style and various historical allusions. This is not a job that ordinary people can do, and it must be based on evidence.

, only when you speak it out can people be convinced.

Generally speaking, only the judgment of a leading figure in the painting world or a recognized expert in the field of collecting can convince the public.

Zhao Zhongnan came to his teacher Ye Huiqin's house this time for this reason, ostensibly to ask Mr. Ye to help identify this ancient painting. In fact, he was doing what he liked and used this to get closer to each other. Even Zhao Zhongnan was worried about it in his heart.

It has been decided that after identifying the origin of the ancient painting, I will give this painting to Mr. Ye to bring the relationship between the two families closer.

"Oh? It's a landscape painting from the Ming Dynasty? I'd like to take a look..."

Ye Lao had nothing to do in her life and spent all her time and energy in the field of calligraphy and painting. It can be said that she is one of the only living painting masters in China who has learned both Chinese and Western knowledge, especially the calligraphy and painting of ancient Chinese dynasties.

Mr. Ye is a treasure trove of the works and styles of hundreds of famous artists.

Especially the calligraphy and painting works of the Ming Dynasty, there are many talented people, and many famous calligraphy and painting works have emerged. Mr. Ye is also particularly fond of and interested in the calligraphy and painting works of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, as soon as he heard that Zhao Zhongnan had brought an unsigned late Ming Dynasty calligraphy and painting, Mr. Ye immediately put down his dish, walked up with interest, and carefully looked at the Ming Dynasty landscape painting in front of him.

.

"Ancient paintings from the Ming Dynasty? Lin Feng, grandma's favorite are the paintings from the Ming Dynasty. Let's go and take a look, too?"

Qin Yanran has been taught by her grandma since she was a child. Although she is not an art examinee, her art skills are even better than those of some students from professional art academies, and she also has a certain understanding of the styles of painters from various dynasties and generations.

When Lin Feng sat on the sofa and saw this painting for the first time, he actually thought it looked very familiar. When he and Qin Yanran got closer and took a closer look, he suddenly realized it, patted his head, and said with a smile.

He said: "I thought it was that painting! It turns out to be this one!"

"Eh? Lin Feng, do you recognize this painting? Even grandma hasn't seen the calendar yet. Have you seen this painting before?"

Qin Yanran stared at it for a long time, but was still unable to distinguish the origin and author of the painting. She also saw her grandma holding a magnifying glass and frowning in thought. But Lin Feng only glanced at it twice, and it seemed that

Knowing this painting thoroughly, I couldn't help but ask him a strange question.

"I guess you recognize it!"

Lin Feng, who was in a moment of excitement, couldn't help but blurt out what he just said. When Qin Yanran questioned him, he quickly said carelessly.

But his humble words were noticed by Zhao Shuang and his son. In order to save the situation that had just been ruined, Zhao Shuang squinted his eyes and sneered unceremoniously: "You are a high school student in a small county.

Have you ever seen such an antique? This is a painting from the Ming Dynasty, hundreds of years ago!"

"Little brother! Even Mr. Ye hasn't seen the origin of the painting, so you say you recognize this painting? It's too overestimating your abilities, isn't it? Shouldn't you compare this painting with what you saw in the art textbook?

Are those landscape, flower and bird paintings lumped together? Haha!”

Seizing this opportunity, Zhao Zhongnan did not hesitate to make fun of Lin Fengdao. Even he, a student of Mr. Ye and a well-known domestic collector, could only tell that the painting was in the style of the late Ming Dynasty and who specifically painted it.

The hand cannot be determined yet, and an expert of Mr. Ye's level is needed to identify it.

It was really ridiculous for Zhao Zhongnan that a high school student like Lin Feng, who knew nothing about anything, dared to say that he recognized this ancient painting. He felt that Lin Feng must have mixed this real ancient painting with the one in the art textbook.

The ancient paintings introduced were lumped together.

"Dad! Even a collector like you, who has seen countless ancient paintings, can't judge the origin of this painting. What does a high school student like you know? I'm afraid that an 'ancient painting' that came off the assembly line was just taken from a stall on the street.

He even thought it was an antique! Haha..."

Zhao Shuang held an ancient painting in one hand and covered his mouth with the other hand as if he couldn't help but laugh. In his opinion, Lin Feng, a country bumpkin, knew what antique paintings were! He must not know how to pretend to understand.

I want to show off myself.

Hearing the two father and son laughing at him, Lin Feng smiled helplessly and shook his head. Originally, he didn't want to say it out loud, but the two father and son took this matter to criticize him in front of his grandma and Yanran. This Lin Feng couldn't

I can't bear it anymore.

Lin Feng not only recognized this painting, but from another aspect, it could be said that this painting was painted by Lin Feng. Why do you say that? Because the author of this painting is actually Twenty-Four Stars

One of the current owners of the Dinghai Pearl is Zhu Da, a master of painting in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties who called himself Bada Shanren.

Lin Feng, who has almost all of Zhu Da's memory inheritance, recognized this painting from the huge memory bank at first sight. This painting is exactly the painting "Landscape, Fish and Birds" painted by Zhu Da in his later years.

"Happy" painting.

In fact, Lin Feng even knew clearly from the memory bank how Zhu Da placed each stroke and how the idea was laid out when he painted this painting. After integrating these memories

Afterwards, when Lin Feng looked at the painting again, he felt as if he was Zhu Da from Bada Mountain and that this painting was made by him.

"How about it? Brat, don't brag! How can you recognize this kind of antique painting? Stand aside obediently and wait to hear Teacher Ye's judgment. Young people, for the sake of a little vanity, don't pretend to understand. It's easy.

It was a joke."

Lin Feng carefully searched for gaps in his memory and was stunned for a while, but Zhao Zhongnan thought he was guilty and embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, I really do recognize this painting." After integrating these memories, Lin Feng retorted with confidence.
Chapter completed!
