While talking, Xiao Ran opened another picture frame tightly wrapped in moisture-proof oilcloth.
Then what appeared in front of everyone was a beautiful "Hunting in the Snow Picture".
Unfortunately, the painting is in a poor state of preservation, with some damage and cracks in some places.
The colors of the painting are also a bit dull. In addition to the age, it seems to be related to the poor quality of the canvas and paint.
Seeing this oil painting, the several appraisal experts who had just come in couldn't help but were stunned, with a somewhat painful look in their eyes.
Before they could react, Xiao Ran had already given the origin of the oil painting.
"This oil painting is one of the "Winter Hunting" series of paintings by Peter Bruegel, the master of the Dutch School of Painting during the Renaissance. It is a bit surprising and a huge surprise that it appears here."
"Bruegel was the greatest painter in the Netherlands in the 16th century. He used rural life as the theme of his artistic creation throughout his life. Bruegel was known as the peasant. Because of his fondness for humorous and exaggerated shapes, he was also known as Funny Bruegel”
"He was the first peasant painter in the history of European art and the last master of the Dutch School. His painting skills were very good, but his life was difficult. These characteristics are very clearly shown in this painting."
"Because his paintings are mainly about rural life, he is not welcomed by the upper class of Europe. The upper class rarely collects his paintings. However, this painting was collected by the Habsburg family, so I feel Somewhat unexpected,..."
When Xiao Ran talked eloquently and introduced the situation of this painting, several other antique art appraisal experts who were also at the scene looked at him dumbfounded, with eyes full of disbelief.
With just one glance, Sean actually recognized the origin of this painting, recognized that it was the "Winter Hunting" series by the master Bruegel, and gave such an accurate analysis.
Is all this true or false? Is this too exaggerated, or am I dreaming?
You know, there is no author’s signature on this oil painting, and it is not in very good condition!
How did this guy Sean do it? Or are you just talking nonsense and bluffing?
After the brief shock, several antique art appraisal experts immediately rushed to the table, widened their eyes and began to appraise the slightly damaged oil painting.
Not only them, but everyone in the hall, as well as many antique art appraisal experts in front of the live broadcast, performed like this!
Everyone stared at Xiao Ran and this oil painting with wide eyes, unable to believe it.
With just one glance, Xiao Ran actually identified this oil painting. This is beyond exaggeration. It is simply a myth!
Shocked, many antique art appraisal experts immediately took action and started taking screenshots.
Then the captured high-definition picture will be enlarged several times, and carefully observed and identified to see whether it is the work of the art master Bruegel.
Many of the antique art appraisal experts even started appraisals with the intention of competing with Xiao Ran.
Compared with these professionals, countless ordinary viewers have much simpler ideas.
Almost no one among them questioned the appraisal conclusion given by Xiao Ran.
Many people think that since Xiao Ran said that this is Bruegel's work, it is absolutely correct, and there is no way he could have mistaken it!
This point has been proven countless times before and has never been wrong. It is simply the truth!
And in several of Xiao Ran's live broadcast rooms, everyone was even more confident.
"Holy shit! It seems that this is Xiao Ran's true strength. He has been hiding it before, but now he doesn't pretend to be!"
"This guy is getting faster and faster at appraising antiques and art, and his eyesight is still as sharp as ever. It's so awesome!"
"It's no exaggeration. This guy Xiao Ran definitely has a pair of piercing eyes. No antique artwork can escape his eyes."
While everyone was talking about it, Xiao Ran had already taken another picture frame and began to dismantle the moisture-proof tarpaulin wrapped outside.
Outside the frame, there are also four or five layers of moisture-proof tarpaulin, tightly wrapping the painting inside to prevent a large amount of water vapor from penetrating.
This kind of package is not completely sealed, and there is still a trace of moisture that can penetrate.
Because of this, these tightly wrapped paintings were able to survive to this day with very little damage.
When dismantling the moisture-proof oilcloth outside the picture frame, Xiao Ran's movements were very gentle and cautious, lest he accidentally cause damage to the paintings.
Compared with the speed when he appraised the last painting, his current speed was as slow as a snail.
Finally, he gently peeled off the last layer of moisture-proof tarpaulin outside the painting frame.
This tightly wrapped painting finally reappeared in front of the world after more than two hundred years.
What is presented in front of everyone is a gorgeous and unusual landscape painting of historical figures.
The painting shows a group of nobles in costumes having a picnic on the edge of a beautiful forest.
This can be seen from the appearance and clothing of the characters in the painting, as well as the flags and badges on the roadside carriages.
These nobles picnicking on the edge of the forest come from the royal family of the Holy Roman Empire.
The painter who created this painting for them was Watteau, the most influential painter of the Rococo era.
In the lower right corner of this painting, there is Watteau's personal signature, which is the best evidence.
The lavish and gorgeous artistic style displayed in this oil painting is also a typical characteristic of Watteau, the master of Rococo art.
Xiao Ran glanced at the oil painting and immediately gave a positive identification conclusion.
"The oil painting of a historical figure and landscape that you are seeing now is in the Rococo art style and was painted by Watteau, the most influential painter in the Rococo period."
"The European aristocrats pictured in the painting, dressed in fine costumes and having a picnic on the edge of the forest, are members of the royal family of the Habsburg family of the Holy Roman Empire."
"Watto was a representative painter of French Rococo art. His life was quite short. He only lived to be thirty-seven years old. The time when he went to Austria is clearly recorded in historical documents."
"It can be inferred from this that the identities of these members of the Habsburg family of the Holy Roman Empire in the painting should be the Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI and his family..."
Following his introduction, there was once again an exclamation of exclamation at the scene and in front of countless live broadcasts.
People were once again shocked by his lightning-fast appraisal speed, his sharp vision, and his erudition.
There is no longer any doubt as to the provenance of this painting.
At this moment, several antique art appraisal experts nearby suddenly said excitedly:
"Sean, your judgment is very correct. This is indeed the work of Pieter Bruegel, the last artistic master of the Dutch School of Renaissance painting. It is an undoubted top-notch work of art."
"The black hunting dog in the painting has Bruegel's personal signature hidden on it. It is so hidden that we only discovered this signature using a magnifying glass."
"The painting methods of these hounds, hunters, and landscapes in the painting are highly consistent with the artistic expression techniques of another masterpiece in Bruegel's "Winter Hunting" series, "Hunters in the Snow"..."
Listening to these words, Xiao Ran couldn't help but chuckle proudly.
Just saw it! I have already seen Bruegel's personal signature and more.
Bruegel's "Hunters in the Snow"
