Chapter 2789 The Lady in the Painting

This is a wooden box about two meters long, one meter wide, and one meter five high. It is placed close to the center of the platform, close to the base of the bronze sculpture in the center of the platform.

At this time, most of the wooden boxes placed on this platform have been opened one after another and moved down from this platform, leaving only a small number of a dozen or so that have not been cleared.

The iron lock that locked the wooden box had been cut and thrown aside, but several company employees who were in charge of cleaning the wooden box did not lift the top cover of the wooden box.

They did this naturally to protect the oil paintings packed in this wooden box, so as not to cause unnecessary losses.

In two or three steps, Ye Tian had come here and stopped beside the wooden box.

David and the Bishop of Kent who followed, as well as representatives of various parties and several experts and scholars, stood under the platform and stretched their necks to look around. Everyone's eyes were full of curiosity and anticipation.

"Guys, tell me what happened? What did you find?"

Ye Tian asked with a smile, and pretended to examine the huge wooden box seriously.

"Steven, when we cleaned this wooden box, we found that its weight was relatively light, which did not match its volume. At that time, we guessed that it should contain works of art or historical documents.

Next, we cut off the iron lock, opened a gap in the upper cover of the wooden box, checked the situation inside, and found a layer of black moisture-proof tarpaulin covering the things below.

Judging from the outline exposed on the black moisture-proof tarpaulin, the things covered under it should be oil paintings. There are five pieces in total, and they are all very large. The frames of these five oil paintings are very obvious."

A company employee said happily, introducing the discovery of his group.

Ye Tian nodded slightly, then smiled and said:

"Good job, guys, let's take a look at which master artist these five oil paintings are, and how much are they worth?"

After speaking, he loudly told the staff who controlled the lights to adjust the light intensity of the lights so as not to cause harm to these artworks that had been sleeping in the dark for more than five hundred years.

next moment,

The light intensity at the scene dropped rapidly, as if twilight had fallen.

When the light conditions became suitable, Ye Tian stretched out his hand and gently lifted the top cover of the big wooden box, but only lifted a gap of about ten centimeters, and his movements were very careful.

No changes have occurred, everything is as usual!

After confirming that it was safe, Ye Tian lifted the top cover of the wooden box with confidence, and the things contained in the wooden box were immediately presented in front of everyone.

The first thing you see is a layer of black moisture-proof tarpaulin, which tightly wraps the things underneath.

Under the black tarpaulin, there are obviously five oil paintings. The outlines of the frame protruding from the tarpaulin are very clear, and the size of these five oil paintings is not small, close to the size of a wooden box.

As usual, Ye Tian checked the inside of the box and the condition of the tarpaulin, and looked at the lines of Latin and numbers engraved on the inner wall of the top cover of the box!

He didn't know those Latin words, and he didn't ask the Bishop of Kent to translate them. These things are not in a hurry!

The five oil paintings in the box are right in front of you, and you can get them at your fingertips. It doesn't matter whether those Latin words need to be translated or not, it's just the icing on the cake!

As for those numbers, it is not the age of creation of these oil paintings, but a set of numbers given by Da Vinci or Ludovic. For the convenience of statistics and transportation, there is no special meaning!

After pretending to check carefully, Ye Tian started to do it, and gently lifted off the top layer of black moisture-proof tarpaulin on the box!

He uncovered three layers of moisture-proof oilcloth one after another, only to see the five oil paintings packed in the box, but he did not see the contents of the oil paintings.

On the outside of these five oil paintings, each was wrapped with several layers of black moisture-proof tarpaulin. The five oil paintings were inserted side by side in this box, and a lot of linen was stuffed in the gap between each two oil paintings, obviously to avoid collisions. .

Seeing this scene, the two TV hosts who were broadcasting live and several employees of the Fearless Exploration Company became more excited and curious!

The same is true for countless viewers in front of the live broadcast. Everyone is very curious, which artist is the work of these five oil paintings, and what is the content of the paintings? It's so well protected!

David, the Bishop of Kent and others standing under the platform could only stand on their toes and stretch their necks, trying to look around, but they couldn't see what was going on in the box.

At this moment, Ye Tian suddenly said:

"David, Giovanni, come up here and help witness the next discovery and conduct on-site supervision. I have a very strong feeling that once these five oil paintings appear, they will definitely cause a huge sensation."

"Great, Steven, buddy is waiting for your words!"

David nodded in response, and rushed onto the platform directly.

Giovanni did the same, hurriedly boarded the platform, and walked forward quickly.

Coming closer, Ye Tian first let them look at the situation in the box to satisfy their curiosity.

Unsurprisingly, the two guys exclaimed directly and became even more excited.

Afterwards, Ye Tian asked David to go to the other end of the box, and cooperated with him to prepare to carry out the five oil paintings packed in the box together!

These five oil paintings and frames still have a certain weight, and they are relatively large in size, so it is difficult for one person to handle them. For safety reasons, it is best to lift them out!

Next, Ye Tian reached into the box again, took out the linen used to fill the gaps between several oil paintings, and threw them aside!

After finishing this, he motioned to David to take out an oil painting placed on the outermost side of the box together.

The two of them each held the frame at both ends of the oil painting, slowly lifted it up, took it out of the wooden box, and then stood it on the platform against the wooden box.

After putting the oil painting away, Ye Tian checked the situation again, and after confirming that there was no problem, he began to carefully dismantle the moisture-proof tarpaulin wrapped outside the oil painting.

David standing on the other side supported the oil painting to prevent it from falling and causing unnecessary damage.

After a while, the moisture-proof tarpaulin wrapped around the oil painting was completely removed, and what appeared in front of everyone was a whole piece of yellowed white linen!

"call"

Ye Tian let out a long breath, and then stretched out his hand to uncover the last layer of linen.

The next moment, a portrait of a lying figure appeared in front of everyone. This oil painting was installed in a Renaissance-style gold-plated frame, which looked solemn and elegant.

The character in the painting is a lady in her thirties, wearing a long skirt and a top hat, standing in the courtyard. She has a pretty figure and exquisite curves, with a smile on her face. How heroic!

It can be seen that the scenery of the courtyard behind the Italian lady is slightly blurred, the boundary between the figure and the background is not very clear, and the outline of the figure is not so clear, as if blending into the background.

However, the details of the characters in the painting, such as eyes, lips, nose, a few strands of hair hanging from the top hat, and even eyelashes, are very clearly depicted, lifelike, and extremely lifelike!

Obviously, this painting technique looks very familiar, it seems to be Leonardo da Vinci's unique skill, the painting technique known as the 'fading method'!

As for the detailed description of the characters in the painting, it perfectly demonstrates the painter's superb painting skills and skills!

From these aspects, it can be seen that this is obviously a priceless top-level artwork, and it is very likely to be a representative work of Leonardo da Vinci.

Because of the size, this oil painting was put sideways into the wooden box. The state presented to everyone at this time is also in a sideways state, but this does not affect its artistic charm!

The moment they saw this oil painting, everyone on the scene was stunned, and they all stood there dumbstruck, their eyes full of madness and incredibleness!

At the same time, everyone was completely attracted by the almost perfect portrait of the character and the beautiful lady in the painting.

Even Ye Tian is the same, even though he has already admired this painting through perspective ability, I don't know how many times!

After a while, he was the first to wake up, and then said aloud:

"David, let's stand up this oil painting so that everyone can appreciate it"

Following his words, David immediately woke up, and the scene exploded in an instant.

"My God! This is definitely Da Vinci's work. At the end of the 15th century, no other artist except him could play the 'fading method' so well. Could it be that this is another "Mona Lisa"!"

"No! This is not the Mona Lisa. The noble lady in the painting should be Ludovic's niece, the most famous woman of the Sforza family, the goddess of war in Italy, Caterina Sforza!"

There was an exclamation of excitement at the scene, coming from those Italian experts and scholars!
