Chapter 1332

? Afternoon, Musee d'Orsay.

The museum is located on the south bank of the Seine, across the river from the Louvre and the Tuileries Garden. It is one of the three major art treasure houses in Paris.

Among them, the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings from the 19th to 20th centuries are the most popular, so they are also known as the "Palace of Impressionist Painters".

At this time, Ye Tian and the others were on the third floor of the Musée d'Orsay, in the exhibition hall of Impressionist paintings, admiring the impressionist paintings displayed here intoxicated.

Just like when he was visiting the Louvre before, Ye Tian was admiring the top artwork in front of him while explaining to Betty and Anderson in a low voice.

"The Ball at Garrett's Mill was created in 1876. It is a famous French early impressionist painter and a representative work of Renoir. It is a masterpiece of Renoir's painting skills and experience.

In Renoir's life, this oil painting can be said to be the most important and famous work, and it is also one of the most important masterpieces of Impressionism, and it is also a treasure of the Musée d'Orsay.

The scale of this impressionist painting is very large, about 130 cm high and 175 cm wide. The content of the painting is very rich, and it was completed in the open air, which is very rare.

It can be seen that this work has a sweet style and a leisurely atmosphere. Wherever the sun shines, it is full of plump tones, bright and calm face and rich body language, which is a classic in the history of painting.

Renoir used the Impressionist painting method to express the large-scale scenes and the lively and joyful atmosphere arbitrarily. On the screen, an open-air cafe and dance hall in Paris is crowded with people and is very lively!

The people participating in the ball are of different shapes, beaming with joy, and the picture is lively and joyful. The faces and bodies of the characters in the painting, as well as the mottled light and shadow on the table and the ground, and the changes of light and color that are vivid, flickering and blurred, etc.

This is the full embodiment of Impressionism's high sensitivity to light and color changes. In this painting, Renoir fully demonstrated the main painting techniques of Impressionism, which is amazing!

Let’s look at the close-up of this painting, along the strip railings on the edge of the dance floor, the picture is divided into two spaces with different density, the people inside are dancing, and the people outside are chatting freely,..."

Accompanied by Ye Tian's wonderful and professional explanation, Betty and the others focused on admiring the impressionist masterpiece in front of them, and everyone had an intoxicated expression.

Before I knew it,

They have been immersed in the wonderful artistic conception created by the painting, as if they were in the café on the Montmartre Heights in Paris in the 19th century, as if they were dancing happily in that open-air ball.

While Ye Tian and the others were admiring the Impressionist works of art, Matisse and the others were on high alert, standing fan-shaped behind Ye Tian and the others, closely watching the scene.

Fortunately, this is the Musée d'Orsay. No matter how insane the 'Pink Panther' guys are, they probably wouldn't dare to launch an attack here and seek revenge from Ye Tian.

Therefore, during the whole visit, Ye Tian and the others didn't encounter any disturbances, they enjoyed the impressionist masterpieces in this museum and swam in the ocean of art to their heart's content.

It took about three minutes for Ye Tian to finish explaining Renoir's masterpiece, "Garrett's Mill Ball".

Next, they admired the painting carefully for a while, and then walked away to admire another impressionist painting hanging next to it.

In the next few hours, they successively enjoyed Van Gogh's "Self-Portrait", Monet's "Blue Water Lilies", Cézanne's "Still Life with Onions", Gauguin's "Two Women on the Beach"

In addition to these famous Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings, there are Ingres's "Fountain", Camille Pissarro's "Pontoise's Red Roof", Rodin's white "Gate of Hell", etc. Wait.

This is a veritable palace of Impressionist art, where top artworks from masters can be seen everywhere, where the artistic trend of the 19th century flows and is full of beauty created in the 19th century!

Ye Tian and the others didn't finish their visit until six o'clock in the afternoon when the Musée d'Orsay was closed. They reluctantly walked out of the museum and prepared to visit the Champs-Elysées on the other side of the Seine.

Although the Musée d'Orsay is not far from the Champs-Elysées, the current situation is special. For safety reasons, Ye Tian and the others gave up the idea of ​​walking there and planned to take a car.

Coming out of the Musée d'Orsay, several bulletproof Mercedes-Benz SUVs had already parked at the roadside at the entrance of the museum, waiting for Ye Tian and the others.

Soon, Ye Tian and the others got into the car and were ready to set off.

At this moment, Ye Tian's cell phone rang suddenly. It was a call from Benoit, the curator of the Museum of Fontainebleau Palace.

When the phone was connected, Benoit's familiar voice came over immediately.

"Good afternoon, Steven, you should have finished your visit, right? I guess it's almost time, so I'm calling you, so as not to disturb your pleasure of visiting museums and appreciating artworks!"

"Good afternoon, Benoit, you are really considerate, we have been in the Orsay Museum, admiring those Impressionist masterpieces, just came out, and received your call.

Is there anything you need? Is there any good news for me? Has the Palace of Fontainebleau made a decision to exchange the collection of Chinese antiques for those jewels? "

Ye Tian said with a light smile, a look of excitement flashed in his eyes.

Why did Benoit call himself, he knew it well, it must be for the three top jewelry that once belonged to Queen Mary.

The fact is just as he expected!

Benoit's voice came over again, and he was quite excited to hear it.

"You guessed it right, Steven, after several deliberations, we have made a decision to accept your exchange terms, and use the collection of Chinese antique art in exchange for the few pieces of jewelry that Queen Mary has.

Of course, there are certain restrictions on this artwork transaction. The transaction must be fair and transparent. Our Palace of Fontainebleau is not being taken advantage of by a crazy guy like you!

As far as I know, the Louvre and the Guimet Museum have also agreed, and are willing to exchange their collections of Chinese antiques for those top jewelry. I wonder which museum you would choose for the transaction? "

"Since it is a transaction, of course it must be open and transparent to ensure that both parties can get what they want and benefit from it. This is the way to do business and everyone is happy.

This transaction must be based on the market value of the transaction target. As for the market value of those antique artworks, you and I are very clear, there is no secret at all.

You are right, Benoit, the Louvre and the Guimet Museum have indeed agreed to exchange the collection of Chinese antiques for those jewelry!

But I haven't decided whether to make a deal with them. I have been waiting for news from your Fontainebleau Palace. As expected, I still let me wait for this good news.

I am a professional treasure hunter and a businessman. Needless to say, maximizing profit is my goal, and I will definitely choose the most beneficial trading plan for myself.

Before the transaction, I will carefully compare the bargaining chips offered by both of you. If the bargaining chip of the two of you can make my heart move, I will choose that one. I believe you will understand my choice! "

Ye Tian said with a smile, showing his fangs, ready to rob the French.

Hearing his words, Benoit fell silent immediately.

After a short pause, the Frenchman gritted his molars and said angrily:

"Steven, you are really the most greedy bastard I have ever seen, your attack is too dark, it is clear that you want to rob us, but your words are so high-sounding!

Who put Queen Mary's top jewels in your hands, and we really want to collect those treasures, it seems that you can only be ransacked by this guy.

When are you coming to Fontainebleau Palace? Pick out Chinese antique art for trade, if you can, I hope you can come to our museum as soon as possible, we are very welcome! "

"It's just a few days, I won't keep you waiting, I will inform you before I go, to be honest, I am very much looking forward to the trip to Fontainebleau Palace, and I am looking forward to seeing your collection of Chinese antique art!

Those Chinese antique artworks from Yuanmingyuan, the "Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens", have been in foreign countries for more than a hundred years. If I can exchange them and send them back to China, I will be very honored! "

Ye Tian gave an ambiguous answer, and said a few words with emotion by the way.

"Well, then, Steven, I look forward to hearing from you, and I hope to complete this antique art transaction! Let's stop here today, I wish you a good day, goodbye!"

After saying goodbye, Benoit hung up the phone.

This old guy is obviously a very thug, and he doesn't want to talk about the origin of the many Chinese antiques in the Palace of Fontainebleau. He also knows that he is wrong!

At the same time, Ye Tian and his convoy had already passed the road bridge over the Seine River, entered the Place de la Concorde, bypassed the Place de la Concorde, and it was the famous Avenue des Champs Elysees!
