For an appraiser, how to identify the quality and authenticity of a painting is what the appraiser should do.
It's easy for Chen Youlu to say it, but he has no idea how to do it.
Canvas and paper are just necessary tools in the hands of a painter, just like painting tools such as paint and brushes.
No matter how you identify it, you can only identify the quality of the canvas.
What to use to detect canvas?
That requires certain technical support.
Just like identifying a painting, methods such as microscopy, ultraviolet reflection imaging, infrared scanning, and radiocarbon dating are sometimes used, and these detection methods are sometimes specific to canvases.
For example, use c14 concentration test.
Carbon dating tells how long natural organic materials have been around.
Carbon dating can tell experts how long ago a painting was made on canvas, paper or other related materials.
This time difference can be used to identify whether a famous painting is original or a counterfeit.
But the purpose of such testing is to establish the authenticity of oil paintings.
The idea proposed by Chen Youlu now is to identify whether the canvas or paper is genuine.
This kind of formulation makes people confused and seems to be like seeking fish from a tree.
Mr. Liu: "I heard you right, Lao Chen."
"That's right. I was confused by what I said. After decades of appraising paintings, this is the first time I'm talking about appraising whether the canvas of a painting is genuine."
Chen Youlu touched a corner of the oil painting with his fingers, smelled it, and looked carefully with a magnifying glass.
"It looks like real rhinestones, not fake rhinestones, but...it also seems like neither real or fake..."
Wang Dengming was confused as to what rhinestones were.
Chen Youlu was so absorbed that it was difficult for Wang Dengming to interrupt him.
"Sergeant Wang, the testing equipment I brought is limited and I can't do anything. If allowed, I can only take the painting away and find a special testing agency to test it. This is the only way at the moment."
Chen Youming said finally.
"If we put aside the issue of the canvas and just look at this painting, do you think it is a fake or an authentic one?"
Chen Youlu said flatly: "It's genuine. This is not a pirated product. I can guarantee that."
Mr. Liu said: "Old Chen, how much is this painting worth in terms of artistic value?"
"It's hard to say. The content of this painting is unpredictable, but the artist's level is no less than that of a master. As for the market value, I dare not draw a conclusion. I still need to find a few more colleagues for reference."
"Teacher Chen, this painting is the key evidence in the series of cases. How much it is worth is another matter later. The information you provided me is very important. This painting is original and may be more than a hundred years old. Is that true?"
"If you are bolder, it may take more than a hundred years. This painting gives people one kind, one kind, one kind... What words should I use to describe it, Sheriff Wang... I thought of four Words, mysterious and evil.”
Mr. Liu smiled and said: "This painting is very mysterious to begin with. I can't say it is evil."
"Don't you feel like you're being sucked into the painting?"
Mr. Liu then said: "It seems to be this feeling, a sense of inhalation. Chief Wang, do you feel this way?"
Wang Dengming shook his head: "No, I think the eyes of the nine-tailed fox are very attractive."
Chen Youlu smiled and said: "It's just a different personal perspective. My opinion is that if you can find other paintings by this artist, you may have a better understanding of this painting."
Wang Dengming expressed confusion.
"Sergeant Wang, the information this painting brings is too confusing. I really understand what the artist wants to express. It's like a comic book. You need to read it from beginning to end to understand the story expressed in the book. This painting gives me It feels like a comic book with a page torn out, and the painting is like the page that was torn out.”
"You mean, this painting is not a single piece, but a series?"
"It's just a guess, I can't be sure, otherwise I can't explain why this painting gives people a chaotic and nonsensical feeling."
Wang Dengming thought for a while and asked, "Mr. Liu, what do you mean?"
"You should listen to Teacher Chen. He is an expert in this field, a great expert with no water at all."
"Understood, thank you, thank you both."
Chen Youlu took photos of the oil painting and left his contact information. He said that he would find a more experienced appraiser to help with the appraisal. If you have any questions, please contact him at any time.
After sending Mr. Liu and Chen Youlu away, Wang Dengming stood in front of the oil painting, pointed at the nine-tailed fox and said, "Who are you?"
Then, he pointed at the hot girl: "Who are you?"
"Who are you little guys?"
Sensi walked into the case discussion room and said: "When a person likes to talk to himself, a lot of problems arise."
"You've come at the right time. Please feel it carefully with your heart. Does this painting have a sense of inhalation?"
"I do not understand what you say."
"I don't know what I'm talking about. It's really terrible. What is the inhalation feeling? Being sucked into the picture? Damn it."
Sensi pointed behind the flowers: "What did the professor you invited say?"
"No opinion, it's ambiguous. There are people in the flowers and there are no people in the flowers. It just reflects the richness of the content of the painting. Just like what Master Qin said, it is not for reference. But the painting appraisal teacher said that the painting is more than a year old. Hundreds of years, do you believe it?”
"Do you believe such nonsense? This painting was painted by the painter Hora Karls in the castle. How can it be more than a hundred years old?"
When Senxi said this, Wang Dengming called the painter Zunong Bai Dewei.
"Hello, Mr. Zunong Bai Dewei, sorry to bother you again, I have a question..."
Wang Dengming wanted to confirm one thing, whether this strange painting was painted on site by Hora Karls at the castle. The reply he received was that Hora Karls painted the painting at home and then sent it to the castle.
After hanging up the phone, Wang Dengming said: "The suspicion has arisen. Did he paint this painting at home?"
"He is related."
"His only relative, his wife, is dead, you know."
"I forgot about it."
"If this painting is not painted by himself, but by someone else, the question arises, why did he send the painting to the castle? To make money? Zunong Badwei said that he only painted this painting, and the others The artist has not just one painting, but many paintings.”
"Is he related to the Castle case?"
"God knows."
Sensi looked at the painting and said, "What does this painting want to tell us?"
"It tells us that the two beauties above are beauties."
"What's going on with this man?"
"It seems we have to find experts to crack it."
Frederic Institute of Fine Arts, 4 p.m.
Professor Tolu Luis's office.
"Hello, Professor Tolu Luis, please forgive me for interrupting."
Professor Tolu Luis is a cheerful man with a red face and a beautiful long beard on his chin. He heard that the police were looking for him, but he didn't know what happened.
As the dean of this little-known art school, it was extremely rare for the police to come to his door.
"Officer Wang, how can I help you? It seems that we have never met."
"Again, please forgive me..."
Dean Toru was teaching students at the time.
When Wang Dengming came to the Academy of Fine Arts, he didn't know who to look for. He might as well just look for the dean.
"It's okay, you said you are from Flosmu Snow Town?"
"Yes."
"I've heard about that town, a sad and sad town. Why did you drive two hundred kilometers to come here?"
Sensi held the oil painting in her hand.
"Professor, for no other reason, please make an appraisal."
