Chapter 391 The Real Work of "Mona Lisa"?

(This World Cup is poisonous, the top teams have been upset, and the Bo~Lottery company is ushering in the peak, and the buddies are going to go to the rooftop to calm down. I am in such a bad mood and I don’t have the heart to add more, but when I think about the morals that are not much, Still work hard to make up the code words! ~\(≧▽≦)/~)

The layout of Z.H’s apartment is very similar to the safe house where Eiffel lived, but on the surface it is more dilapidated. The building looks old and weather-beaten. The wall of the corridor from the entrance to the living room seems to have been burned. After being smoked, it was pitch black, making the room dark and infiltrating.

And it was also at this time that Yang Cheng could really see the whole picture of Z.H. Just like his face, his whole body was like a skeleton holding up a skin. Refugees who are not warm are even worse. In the cold winter in New York, they only wear a thin basketball vest and cropped pants. It is not warm at all. That's all.

Yang Cheng frowned and stepped on the hard concrete floor. It took less than 2 seconds to look at this small room with only a few square meters. Except for the easels, paints, and probably Apart from the plaster statues used to practice sketching, there are only "world famous paintings" all over the wall, which impressed Yang Cheng deeply, no, more precisely, he was dumbfounded.

Because Rao Yi Yang Cheng's art appreciation ability, without thinking, at first glance, was almost deceived by these fake copies. The top ten famous paintings with the highest value in the world, including Da Vinci's Mona Li You can find all of them here, including Shariah, The Last Supper, etc. Masterpieces such as Picasso, Monet, and Van Gogh are also among them.

However, these "works" that were enough to deceive more than 90% of professional appraisers were cruelly pasted on the wall as wallpaper. Yang Cheng really wanted to scream and throw away everything! Even the presidential suite of the world's most luxurious Burj Al Arab doesn't use wallpaper worth millions of dollars, does it?

This house's "famous paintings" are used to fool those upstarts who don't know how to do it. It's a scam. As long as you are lucky enough, Z.H can become a billionaire with these paintings. Yang Cheng is not exaggerating at all, even if he tells the outside world clearly "Famous paintings" are fakes, and this ingenious and superb copying technique alone is enough to ensure that Z.H will live a prosperous life. Taking a step back, it is not a problem at all to live a decent life in Manhattan.

However, the facts are often unexpected, and even more unbelievable, Z.H is not as good as a dog!

"Mr. Z.H, what should I call you? Should I just call you Z.H?" Yang Cheng stretched out his hand and slapped his nose without any hesitation. Hypocritical tolerance.

Z.H has been sitting in front of the easel since he entered the door, holding a paint palette in one hand and an oil brush in the other, concentrating on the drawing board in front of him, wondering what he is thinking, maybe he is conceiving a painting?

Yang Cheng's question didn't change Z.H's movements in any way. It was like the time pause button was clicked. However, Yang Cheng found it interesting and showed no sign of impatience at all. He hugged his shoulders and admired those precious "wallpapers" ", while admiring, I still don't forget to comment a few words with relish. This strange scene made Hansen and Andrew who followed in speechless for a while. They really deserved to be bosses. If they had put their guns on each other's foreheads, they could still Let the other party pretend to be 13 like this? No patience at all!

This inexplicable and funny atmosphere lasted for 10 minutes, Z.H finally made a move, using a paintbrush to dip blue and yellow on the paint board, tried a few strokes on the paint board, and nodded in satisfaction , with a confident and satisfied smile, put the pen tip on the drawing board in front of him.

Yang Cheng noticed Z.H's movements and didn't bother, still looking at the "shocking work" in front of him - "Mona Lisa", he was carefully distinguishing the charming "smile" in front of him from the What is the difference between the controversial so-called "authentic work",

But after he thought about it for a long time, an idea that even he himself found extremely absurd emerged in his mind——this painting in front of him is the real one!

Speaking of the "Mona Lisa", the mystery of its authenticity can be included in the world's top ten unsolved mysteries, although the world generally believes that the original "Mona Lisa" by Da Vinci is collected in the Louvre in Paris In the palace.

However, according to a widely circulated theory in the collection circle, the real "Mona Lisa" is not the real "Mona Lisa" hanging in the Louvre, but the real "Mona Lisa" is on the wall of an apartment in London.

Dr. Pulitzer, the custodian of the apartment and the work, said that after the Mona Lisa was completed, the work stayed at the Lisa de Zogun family.

Later, another nobleman asked Leonardo da Vinci to paint a portrait of his mistress, a woman called "La Gioconda" (meaning "smiling person"), who looked very similar to Mona Lisa. .

So da Vinci, who was lazy for a while, replaced the face of the "Mona Lisa" with La Gioconda. After the painting was completed, the nobleman abandoned La Gioconda, so he did not buy the painting. I was invited to France, and this painting was taken with him.

Pulitzer said that it was La Gioconda's portrait that added glory to the Louvre, while the real "Mona Lisa" later drifted to England and was bought by a museum curator and art connoisseur William Blake at the beginning of this century , and was later acquired by a Swiss consortium, of which Pulitzer was a member.

Of course, at the beginning of this century, many people discovered the value of works of art and began to copy and forge masterpieces of art on a large scale. counterfeit.

However, Dr. Pulitzer was convinced of the authenticity of his painting and made more than one argument. He used microphotography to confirm that the fingerprints on the London painting were the same as those on other works by Leonardo da Vinci. have the same fingerprints;

And according to records, the Mona Lisa, 19 years younger than La Giocondo, was painted wearing a mourning veil, and of the two paintings, only the London one shows a younger woman wearing a beautiful veil ;

Not only that, but also put forward another evidence that can stand up to scrutiny. Raphael Sancy, who is also known as one of the three masters of the Renaissance with Da Vinci, once painted this painting when Da Vinci made this painting. Sketch, there are two columns behind the Mona Lisa in the sketch, and it is just a coincidence that these two columns appear in the portrait of London, while the background of the Louvre is the cliff, path, stone bridge, bushes and The gurgling water.

Of course, in the past hundreds of years, many collectors have claimed that they have the real "Mona Lisa". many.

What's more interesting is that in 1984, the Bertrand Museum of Art in Maine received a "Mona Lisa Not Smiling". It was determined that this painting was indeed written by Leonardo da Vinci. Except for the fact that the characters do not smile, the rest are exactly like Mona Lisa herself.

Experts speculate that this "Mona Lisa Not Smiling" may be a draft drawn by Leonardo da Vinci at the same time.

There is also a saying that the "Mona Lisa" currently collected in the Louvre is a fake, based on the theft that occurred in 1911.

In that theft, the Mona Lisa was stolen, and it appeared in Italy two years later, but the columns behind the Mona Lisa had been cut away.

A few years later, the "Mona Lisa" was returned to the Louvre, but many experts believe that the recovery is just a smoke screen released by the thieves to ensure the safety of the original work. " has been bought by a wealthy collector for a lot of money, and what hangs in the Louvre is just a fake.

There are countless theories, and countless experts who have studied Da Vinci all their lives are unable to give 100% certain conclusions. Yang Cheng's half-baked level has no way of judging the authenticity of various theories.

But one thing he is still very confident is that he had the honor to see the so-called authentic "Mona Lisa" on many occasions, and he is also very inclined to say that Da Vinci painted more than one "Mona Lisa". "Mona Lisa", so as long as it is verified through scientific means that the painting is indeed from Leonardo da Vinci's time, and its background is worthy of attention, and there is enough historical evidence to rely on, then Yang Cheng will think that painting is authentic.

But now the painting in front of Yang Cheng is the same as Da Vinci's original work in terms of technique, degree of pigment fading, and even the angle of light and shadow. What's more, Yang Cheng just used a 10x magnifying glass to paint I read the paper carefully twice, but I didn’t find Z.H’s name in it. This is no coincidence, because Z.H’s name is in the “Last Supper” next to the “Mona Lisa”, although it is extremely small It was hard to find, but Yang Cheng found it!

I bought a watch last year! Yang Cheng has never felt his heart beating so fast, even the moment he was shot in Rio last year, it was not as violent as it is now. Accompanied by the violent heart beating, his throat was dry and his eyes were astringent. , Brain enlightenment and a series of related reactions.

"God, Tathagata Buddha, Goddess Guanyin and other gods, don't make such jokes with me, my fragile little heart can't bear it, so I just hang up like this, I'm sorry you guys let me do it all over again!"

Yang Cheng kept muttering and thinking in his heart, but on the surface he was still a calm group, as if he was holding his breath and concentrating on admiring the style of a famous painting.

Just when Yang Cheng was beating drums in his heart and countless little black men representing various ideas were fighting fiercely, Z.H finally spoke.

"Tell me why you came!"
