A few minutes later, Xiao Ran opened the second painting.
As soon as the painting appeared, cheers erupted.
"Titian, it's actually a painting by Titian, it's incredible!"
And in front of countless live broadcasts, the same exclamation also sounded.
The reason why everyone can recognize this oil painting at a glance is actually very simple.
Because this is a self-portrait by the Renaissance art master Titian, and it has been passed down in an orderly manner.
In the history of Western art, Titian is the top art master as famous as Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael. He has a very high status and is well-known to everyone!
As long as there are few Westerners who have taken an art history class, they will know Titian.
The discovery of Titian's self-portrait caused a greater sensation than "The Three Graces" and made countless people almost crazy with envy and jealousy, and their eyes turned completely red!
Just as everyone was cheering and celebrating, some fans in the main live broadcast room suddenly asked curiously:
"Xiao Ran, how much are these two world-famous paintings from the Italian Renaissance worth? Can you tell everyone?"
"My boss is willing to take pictures of these two paintings. Xiao Ran, will you put them up for auction in the live broadcast room? Everyone is looking forward to it!"
Hearing these words, Xiao Ran couldn't help but chuckle.
The next moment, he gave the answer.
"These two paintings by Renaissance art masters are very precious and are undoubtedly top-notch works of art. Such works of art are almost impossible to see on the market."
"Normally, if you want to appreciate this kind of top-notch artwork from Renaissance art masters, you can only go to major top museums, such as the Louvre!"
“Because there are very few objects for reference, it is not easy to value these two paintings!”
"If I had to give an estimate, I think "Three Graces" should be around US$200 million, and "Self-Portrait by Titian" should be more than US$300 million."
"I plan to collect "Titian Self-Portrait" myself and display it in my museum in the future. This is a top-notch work of art that represents the Italian Renaissance. It is rare to find but not to be found!"
"As for how to deal with "Three Graces", I have to think about it again. Maybe it will be auctioned in the live broadcast room."
Before the words were spoken, several live broadcast rooms were already boiling over.
Everyone was shocked by the extremely high valuation of these two paintings and exclaimed.
"I'll go! Two paintings are worth at least 500 million U.S. dollars. Money can't be printed so fast. This is too exaggerated!"
"It's just a money grab! Just these two paintings can probably be exchanged for ten apartment buildings like this. Xiao Ran is making a fortune!"
Not only the tens of thousands of fans in several live broadcast rooms, but also those who cannot understand Chinese can understand the subtitles.
After being translated, they also learned about the extremely high valuation given by Xiao Ran for these two paintings.
As you can imagine, everyone was shocked and exclaimed, which was called envy and hatred!
Even Henry and Carlin who were at the scene behaved the same way.
After admiring and appraising him intoxicatedly, Henry came straight to Xiao Ran and said expectantly:
"Sean, let's talk about trading these two paintings. We at the Louvre are interested..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Ran interrupted him with a smile.
"Henry, it's too early to discuss the transaction now. I haven't figured out what to do with these two paintings yet!"
"Let's talk about the transaction after the exploratory operation is over. It shouldn't take long."
Hearing this, Henry was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.
"Well, after the exploratory operation is completed and you have thought about it carefully, we will discuss the transaction."
"This has just begun, and you have made such an amazing discovery. God knows what else will be discovered next. It is so exciting!"
After hearing what Henry said, Carlin, who originally wanted to come up and ask about the transaction, had no choice but to shut up.
Next, everyone gathered together to appreciate the two paintings and discuss them enthusiastically.
Matthew and the others continued to explore other places in the wall. Xiao Ran pretended to be serious and explored the apartment carefully.
As a result, they found nothing else and could only end their exploration in this apartment.
Later, Xiao Ran personally put the two paintings into two painting bags and gave them to Elaine and the others to carry.
Next, he gave Matthew and the others a few words and asked them to continue exploring on the second floor.
He himself took Elaine and the others back to the third floor.
In the blink of an eye, more than an hour passed.
During this period, the three exploration teams and Xiao Ran discovered some secret compartments, hidden walls, and even a small secret room.
Most of these secret compartments, sandwiched walls, and secret rooms are empty.
But there are also several secret compartments and hidden walls that hide things, which are big or small surprises.
More importantly, these discoveries were basically hidden by members of the Committee of Public Safety who lived here during the French Revolution, and most of them are precious historical documents.
These historical documents record various events that occurred during the French Revolution.
It even includes some unknown secrets and is the first-hand historical information for studying the French Revolution.
Their discovery caused waves of exclamations at the scene and on numerous live broadcasts.
Especially the French historians and many experts and scholars who are watching the live broadcast are very excited.
Cornell, Henry and others at the scene were even more excited and dancing.
While talking, everyone came to an apartment on the third floor.
When they got here, Jeremy immediately stepped forward to unlock the door and pushed the apartment door open.
What appeared in front of everyone was a dusty and quite old apartment.
Obviously, no one has lived in this apartment for a long time, which is why it looks like this.
Xiao Ran looked at the situation in the apartment, and then said to several of his subordinates:
"Guys, you go in and clean up first and clear away all the dust."
"When it's all cleaned up, I'll take people in to explore. There may be important discoveries."
As soon as the words fell, several employees immediately walked into the apartment with vacuum cleaners and got busy.
Xiao Ran took a few steps back and began to introduce the situation of the apartment to everyone.
"The apartment I asked my staff to clean has not been lived in for 40 or 50 years. It has accumulated a lot of dust, so it needs to be cleaned up."
"The area of this apartment is about 130 square meters, with three bedrooms and two living rooms. The interior is also in Baroque style."
"According to our investigation, during the French Revolution, the most important leader of the Jacobins, Robespierre, lived here."
"About half a month before he was sent to the guillotine, he moved out from here because he no longer served on the Public Safety Committee."
"This is undoubtedly the most important apartment in the building and cannot be missed. I hope to make some great discoveries."
"Robespierre was an important leader during the French Revolution and had a huge influence on later generations."
"But there are not many things left by Robespierre, which greatly affects the research on him and the evaluation of him."
"Today I hope to make a breakthrough in this area. If I find something related to Robespierre, that would be great."
Following his words, everyone's interest in this apartment suddenly became more intense.
The expressions of many French officials, experts and scholars, including Carlin, became much more solemn.
Some of the guys even felt frightened, including Carlin.
