Chapter 391： The authenticity of "Mona Lisa"?

(This World Cup is poisonous, and the strong teams are stunned. Bo~Color Company is at its peak. The buddy is ready to go to the rooftop to calm down. He didn't want to change his mood. But when I thought of the lack of discipline, Still work hard to make up the codewords! ~\\(≧▽≦)/~)

The layout of this apartment in ZH is similar to the safe house where Eiffel lived, but on the surface it is more dilapidated. This building looks young and weather-beaten. The wall of the corridor from the entrance to the living room seems to have been burnt. Smoked, dark, making the room dark and infiltrating.

And at this time, Yang Cheng really saw the whole picture of ZH, like his face, the whole body is a skeleton frame propped up by a skin, and his skinny figure is comparable to those who have been plagued by war and can’t eat enough. Refugees who are not warm are even worse. In the cold winter in New York, they only wear thin basketball vests and cropped trousers. They can't talk about keeping warm, and at most they keep the core temperature of the body from passing too much. It's almost done.

Yang Cheng frowned and stepped on the hard concrete floor. It took less than 2 seconds to survey this small room of only 30 square meters. In addition to the easel, paint, and estimated Apart from the plaster statues used to practice sketching, there are only "world famous paintings" on the walls, which impresses Yang Cheng. No, more accurately, it is dumbfounded.

Because Rao is based on Yang Cheng’s artistic appreciation ability, he was almost fooled by these fake copy works without thinking and at first glance. The top ten most valuable paintings in the world, including Leonardo’s Monalie You can find everything like Shah, the Last Supper, etc. here, as well as masterpieces by Picasso, Monet, Van Gogh and others.

However, these "works", which were even enough to deceive more than 90% of professional appraisers, were cruelly posted on the wall as wallpaper. Yang Cheng really wanted to roar and scream! Even the most luxurious Burj Al Arab hotel presidential suite in the world does not use millions of dollars in wallpaper?

The "famous paintings" in this house are used to fool the nouveau riche who don't know how to do it. It is a fool. As long as luck is good enough, ZH can become a billionaire with this batch of paintings. Yang Cheng is not exaggerated at all, even if he clearly tells the outside world. The "famous paintings" are fakes. The skillful and superb copying skills alone are enough to ensure that ZH can live a prosperous life. If you take another ten thousand steps back, it is not a problem to live a decent life in Manhattan.

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

"Mr. ZH, what should I call you? Just call you ZH?" Yang Cheng reached out and slapped his nose without evasiveness. The sour and musty smell in the room really made him unbearable, and he didn't bother to go. Hypocritical tolerance.

Z.H sat in front of the easel after entering the door, holding a paint pad in one hand and an oil paintbrush in the other, and focused on the drawing board in front of him. I wonder what he was thinking about, maybe he was conceiving a painting?

Yang Cheng’s question didn’t change ZH’s actions. People were like the time-pause button. However, Yang Cheng found it interesting and showed no signs of impatience. He held his shoulders and admired the precious “wallpapers”. "While appreciating, I still don’t forget a few relish comments. This strange scene made Hansen and Andrew who followed in for a while. They really deserved to be the boss. They had already put the gun on each other’s forehead. Let the other party pretend to be 13? No patience at all!

This inexplicable and funny atmosphere lasted for 10 minutes. ZH finally moved. He used his paintbrush to dip blue and yellow on the paint board, tried a few strokes on the paint board, and nodded with satisfaction. , With a confident and content smile, placed the pen tip on the drawing board in front of him.

Yang Cheng noticed that ZH’s movements did not bother him. He still looked at the "Mona Lisa" in front of him. He carefully distinguished the charming "smile" in front of him and the collection in the Louvre. What is the difference between the so-called "authentic" that has been controversial, but after thinking about it for a while, an idea that even he himself thinks is absurd came into his mind-this is the original 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 in the Louvre collection in Paris In the palace.

However, according to a widely circulated statement in the collectors' circles, the "Mona Lisa" hanging in the Louvre is not the original "Mona Lisa". The real "Mona Lisa" is on the wall of an apartment in London.

Dr. Pulitzer, the custodian of this apartment and the work, said that after the completion of the "Mona Lisa", the work remained in many of Lisa de Zogon.

Later, another nobleman asked Leonardo to paint a portrait of his mistress. This woman, known as "Racho Conda" (meaning "smiling person"), looked very similar to the Mona Lisa .

So, for a while, Leonardo, who was lazy, changed the face of "Mona Lisa" to La Gioconda. After the painting was completed, the nobleman abandoned La Gioconda and did not buy the painting. Later, Da Vinci responded to Francis. At the invitation of King I to go to France, this painting was also taken with him.

Pulitzer said that it was the portrait of Racho Conda that made the Louvre splendid, and the real "Mona Lisa" was later exiled to England and was bought by a museum curator and art connoisseur William Blake at the beginning of this century. , Was later acquired by a Swiss consortium, and Pulitzer was a member of it.

Of course, at the beginning of this century, many people discovered the value of artworks and began to copy and forge masterpieces on a large scale. This gave the orthodox academic circles, mainly French experts, reason to suspect that the London painting was Fake.

However, Dr. Pulitzer was convinced of the authenticity of his painting and made more than one argument. He used photomicrography to confirm that the fingerprints on this painting in London are the same as those in other works by Leonardo. Fingerprints are the same;

And according to the record, the Mona Lisa is 19 years younger than La Giocondo, and she was painted with a veil of condolences. Of the two paintings, only the one in London shows a more prominent young woman wearing a beautiful veil. ；

Not only that, but also put forward another more resistant to scrutiny evidence is that Rafael Sanci, who is also known as one of the three great Renaissance masters with Leonardo da Vinci, once painted this painting when Leonardo In a sketch, there are two columns behind the Mona Lisa in the sketch. It just so happens that these two columns appear in the portrait of London, and the background of the Louvre is the cliffs, paths, stone bridges, bushes and The gurgling water.

Of course, in these centuries, many collectors have claimed that they have the real "Mona Lisa". According to incomplete statistics, the number of "real works" released has reached 60. many.

What’s more interesting is that the Bertrand Art Museum in Maine, USA, received a "Mona Lisa without Smiling" in 1984. It has been determined that this painting is indeed the handwriting of Leonardo da Vinci. Except for not smiling, the rest of the characters resemble the Mona Lisa herself.

Experts speculate from this that this "Mona Lisa without a smile" may be a draft that Leonardo drew at the same time.

There is also a view that the current collection of "Mona Lisa" in the Louvre is a forgery, based on the theft in 1911.

In that theft case, the "Mona Lisa" was stolen, and two years later, it appeared in Italy, but the pillars on both sides of the screen behind Mona Lisa have been cut off.

A few years later, the "Mona Lisa" was returned to the Louvre, but many experts believe that this loss was only a thief who released a smoke screen to ensure the safety of the original. The real "Mona Lisa" "It has been bought heavily by a wealthy collector, and the only thing hanging in the Louvre is a fake.

There are countless claims. Countless experts who have studied Da Vinci throughout their lives have not been able to come up with 100% certain conclusions. Yang Cheng's half-hearted level is even less able to judge the authenticity of various claims.

But one thing he is still very confident is that he has had the privilege of seeing the so-called "Mona Lisa" on multiple occasions, and he is also very inclined to one way of saying-in fact, Leonardo da Vinci painted more than one " "Mona Lisa", so as long as it is scientifically verified that the painting is indeed from the time of Leonardo da Vinci, and its background is worth studying, and there is sufficient historical evidence to rely on, then Yang Cheng will think that the painting is authentic.

And now the picture in front of Yang Cheng, whether in terms of technique, the degree of fading of the paint, and even the angle of light and shadow, is the same as the original Da Vinci's. More importantly, Yang Cheng just used a 10x magnifying glass to paint. After reading the paper carefully twice, I did not find the name of ZH in it. This is not a coincidence, because there is the name of ZH in the "Last Supper" next to "Mona Lisa", although it is extremely small It's 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 at the moment when he was shot in Rio last year, it was not as violently as it is now. With the violent beating of the heart, there was also dry throat and astringent eyes. A series of collateral reactions such as brain hair loss.

"God, Tathagata Buddha, Goddess of Mercy, and all kinds of gods, don't make this kind of joke with me, my fragile heart can't bear it, just hang up like this, I'm sorry you let me do it again!"

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

When Yang Cheng kept beating the drums in his heart and the countless little black men who represented various ideas in his mind were fighting fiercely, Z.H finally spoke.

"Say what you are here!"
