Chapter 849
After a moment, Lucian suddenly shook his head firmly.
“No, this painting can never be the work of Jacques
David” “As we all know, Jacques David is a master of neoclassical painting, not a romantic painter
” “Although there are some neoclassical artistic colors on this painting, the theme art style is still romantic”
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded, and then explained a few words.
“Lucian, you are right, the main art style
of this painting is indeed romantic” “Although there is a bit of neoclassicism, it is not very obvious, the problem is actually here
” “In my opinion, this should have been a neoclassical painting, with a bit of romanticism” “Romanticism
was born in the late eighteenth century and swept Europe and the world in the first half of the nineteenth century, just in terms of time, It does not conflict with the artistic peak of Jacques David
” “I just observed that someone has made a second creation on this neoclassical style portrait, using romantic brushstrokes to cover most of the characteristics of neoclassical art
” “In this way, the painter skillfully transformed a neoclassical painting into a romantic painting, the technique is extremely clever, it is difficult to be discovered”
“I am sure, the painter who transformed this painting, most likely a master of romantic painting, a figure of Delacroix’s level
” “As for the time when this painting was transformed, it should be after 1825, and the purpose of the transformation is to protect this top work of art!”
“The original neoclassical paintings, perhaps signed by the author, were later hidden by the romantic master” ”
Ah!”
There was an exclamation at the scene, and everyone was completely shocked by Xiao Ran’s words.
Especially Lucian, both of his eyes were about to explode and he was stunned.
“Oh my God! It’s incredible that there is such a thing, I’ve never heard of it!
“If this is true, then the discovery of this painting will surely cause a huge sensation
” “Just this superb painting technique that jumps randomly between different artistic styles will sensationalize the entire Western art world!”
Lucian muttered, still full of disbelief.
Compared with him, Elaine and Fang Yufei were already determined!
This painting must have been transformed from a neoclassical painting by a romantic master, as Xiao Ran said!
But how to transform specifically, they can’t figure it out when they break their heads.
The next moment, Elaine said expectantly:
“Honey, you come to tell everyone, how did this incredible change come about?”
“It’s the first time I’ve heard of a top-quality artwork in this way, it’s amazing!”
Before the words fell, Lucian couldn’t wait to continue:
“Another point, how do you think that the young woman in the painting is Napoleon’s most beloved sister, Polina!”
“The image of the person in the painting does not bear much resemblance to Polina!”
Xiao Ran looked at Elaine and them, thought for a while, and then said with a smile:
“Let me first talk about Polina’s identity, and after determining this, I will talk about how this painting has been cleverly transformed
” “Everyone please look at the diamond brooch worn by the young woman in the painting, although it is half blocked by the tassel of the long skirt, but you can still see the outline of the other half” “This diamond
brooch has appeared on another masterpiece by Jacques David, That is the famous “Coronation of Napoleon I and the Empress
” “On that well-known neoclassical masterpiece, the woman wearing this diamond brooch is Napoleon’s most beloved sister, Polina
” “An identical diamond brooch appears on this painting, which is enough to show that this young woman is Polina, and the original author of this painting is Jacques David” ”
About this, You can use your mobile phone to check David Jacques’s masterpiece on the Internet, enlarge the part of Polina’s chest, and you can find the correct answer” ”
Ah!”
There was another outcry of exclamation at the scene.
Everyone was completely dumbfounded, and looked at Xiao Ran one by one.
The next moment, everyone took out their mobile phones and began to verify according to the method he said.
“The Coronation of Napoleon” is a world-famous painting, one of the masterpieces of neoclassical art, and is a household name in France.
Various high-definition detailed drawings of this painting are available on the Internet.
In a matter of moments, Elaine and Lucian found the corresponding picture, and then found the exquisite diamond brooch.
You don’t have to ask about the results!
The diamond brooches on both paintings are identical, there is no difference.
At the beginning of the nineteenth century, with Polina’s noble status, the jewelry she wore must have been specially customized, and there could never be a second piece of jewelry that was exactly the same.
Intimate and important jewelry such as brooches, Polina could not give them casually.
It can be determined that the nineteenth-century young woman in this painting is indeed Napoleon’s sister Polina, but her image has been deliberately changed.
The release of this result made everyone excited and cheered directly with joy.
Lucian’s face was full of incredulity, and he kept muttering to himself.
“Oh my God! This young woman turned out to be Polina. Bonaparte, it turned out to be identified by a brooch!
“Since this is a painting by David Jacques, since it is a portrait of Polina, and the later master of Romanticism, why transform this painting?” I couldn’t figure it out”
Not only him, Elaine, they were also confused.
Lucian’s words did not fall, and everyone had already looked at Xiao Ran, looking forward to his interpretation.
Xiao Ran smiled proudly, and then gave his own explanation.
“The answer is actually very simple, Polina and Napoleon have the best relationship, go closer, after Napoleon was overthrown and died, Polina was subjected to a series of persecutions
” “In order to save her life, Polina could only flee to Rome and seek the protection of the pope at the time, but she died of illness quickly, but not really sick, who knows?”
“It is estimated that at that time, in order to protect Polina’s portrait, a certain romantic master made a second creation on this painting and
changed the painting” “He not only changed the image of Polina in the painting, but also changed the artistic style of the painting, so that there is no need to worry about the restored Bourbon dynasty destroying the painting”
No surprise, Xiao Ran’s words once again shocked everyone at the scene.
His analysis is meticulous and convincing that he finds no flaws.
Next, combined with this peculiar and surprisingly valuable painting, he pointed out a suspicious point in the painting.
In the process, he made new discoveries.
The paint used in the two creations of this painting is not the same, there are some subtle differences.
In addition, the romantic art part of secondary creation can be separated from the neoclassical original painting.
In other words, the top layer of paint can be shoveled off, so that the painting can be completely restored to its original appearance.
This series of new discoveries shocked everyone again and made everyone more excited.
Next, Xiao Ran took everyone to continue to study the painting.
As a result, in the lower left corner of the painting, when illuminated with an ultraviolet fluorescent lamp, a very faint imprint was found.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ran heated the pigment in this part with a hair dryer, and then irradiated it with an ultraviolet fluorescent lamp again.
What appeared in front of everyone’s eyes this time was the abbreviated signature of Jacques David.
Hit the nail on the head!
This heavyweight discovery completely determines the origin of this painting, and it is indeed the work of the neoclassical master Jacques David.
When Xiao Ran said this result, the scene immediately exploded.
Everyone cheered excitedly and danced one by one.
“Oh my God! This is really the work of the neoclassical master Jacques David, what a portrait of Polina, it’s incredible
” “Wow! This painting is so peculiar that its discovery will definitely cause a ten-magnitude earthquake in the art world!
While everyone was cheering and celebrating, Xiao Ran pretended to be serious and continued to study the painting.
After a while, he used the same technique to find another line of hidden text at Polina’s feet.
It was Delacroix’s tribute to Jacques David, enough to illustrate.
The master of Romanticism who hid this neoclassical painting was none other than the lion of Romanticism, Delacroix.
Not surprisingly, this new discovery shocked everyone again.
Faced with such a double surprise, everyone was a little crazy with excitement.
At this moment, Lucian suddenly asked:
“Sean, how much do you value such a legendary painting that can go down in art history?”
“What are you going to do with this painting? Sell or collect it yourself? Will it be left in Paris?
Xiao Ran looked at this guy and immediately gave a valuation.
“This painting is the perfect collaboration between Jacques David and Delacroix, two masters across the ages, and is unique in the history of Western art!”
“My valuation of this painting is at least more than three hundred million dollars, and there is no doubt that this is definitely a top-notch work of art
” “As for what to do with this painting, it is too early to say this matter, I have to think about it before I can make a decision!”
Hearing the valuation of at least $300 million he offered, Lucian’s body shook violently and almost fell to the ground.
“Three hundred million dollars, oh my God! What exactly am I doing wrong? ”
Jacques David, The Coronation of Napoleon
