At about ten o'clock in the morning, Ye Tian and the others left the Vatican again and drove straight to Coronari Avenue in the old city of Rome.
This is one of the most famous antique streets in the city of Rome. It has a long history of selling antique art. It is one of the main goals of Ye Tian's trip to Rome. Of course, you should not miss it!
Compared to the bustling and noisy Botsay Gate open-air market, Coronali Avenue is much quieter, and the scenery is more beautiful and full of art.
Coronali Avenue is an ancient street with a history of one to two thousand years, to say less. According to legend, it was once the pilgrimage road of St. Peter.
On both sides of this street, there are historical buildings in Renaissance and Baroque styles, one next to each other, row upon row, and each building is very beautiful and worth seeing.
On the street side of the ground floor of these historic buildings, there are various shops, including restaurants, bars, clothing stores, coffee shops, and so on.
However, the most shops here are the antique shops and galleries that can be seen everywhere, and there are many old antique shops that have passed on for more than a hundred years.
Perhaps it is precisely because of the existence of these antique shops and galleries that the historical buildings on this street are obviously in better condition than other places in Rome. They look bright and beautiful despite hundreds of years of wind and rain.
For every art lover who travels to Rome, this is a street not to be missed. It is a good place to buy antique art and the place that best reflects the charm of the city of art in Rome.
Every antique shop opened on Coronari Avenue is like a small museum, with all kinds of collections including ceramics, sculptures, paintings, furniture and so on!
If you have a sharp vision and are lucky, you might be able to find valuable antique art in an antique shop or gallery on this street and make a fortune.
Of course, if you have a bad vision, bad luck, and no self-knowledge, when you leave this street, you may have gone bankrupt and you will only get a pile of worthless rubbish!
Just after 10:30 in the morning, Ye Tian and his motorcade had arrived at the entrance of Coronali Avenue and stopped by the side of the road.
As soon as the convoy stopped, Cole and the others quickly got out of the car, and then dispersed, building a strong line of defense. Everyone was on high alert, watching the surrounding buildings and people vigilantly.
After confirming the safety of the scene, Ye Tian took Betty out of the car, landed on the ground, and quickly looked at the surrounding situation.
During this process, he also secretly turned on the perspective, and thoroughly looked through the several historical buildings in the line of sight, as well as the pedestrians and tourists on the street, for safety!
There are no gunmen ambushing in the surrounding buildings, and there is no potential danger on the streets. Instead, there are many antique artworks with beautiful light displayed in different antique shops and galleries.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian was already aware of the situation at the scene, and was relieved a lot, and then ended the perspective.
At the same time, David and the others rushed over and joined everyone in one place.
Later, Ye Tian and the others walked into this winding ancient street about 500 meters long, preparing to sweep this famous antique street, sweeping all the valuable and neglected antique artworks.
The arrival of Ye Tian and the others inevitably caused a commotion on Coronali Street.
The Italian cultural relics gendarmerie who followed all the way looked at the back of Ye Tian and the others as they walked, and they all itched with hatred, but they were helpless.
All they can do is pray in secret.
I hope God bless the antique dealers on Coronary Street, and bless them to escape and avoid being ransacked by Steven’s bastard.
Don't become the protagonist of tragedies like the hapless guys at the Botsaymen open-air bazaar. You can only weep secretly and slowly lick the wounds!
As for the owners of antique shops and galleries on Coronali Street, when Ye Tian came here, their expressions changed drastically, and they felt like a disaster is imminent.
Although they had expected this kind of thing to happen, when Ye Tian really came here, they still felt a kind of fear from the bottom of their hearts.
Even if they are afraid, they can't close the door to thank you, stop Ye Tian outside, and refuse to do his business. That will undoubtedly smash the sign of their antique shop!
They can only grit their teeth and pray in a low voice, hoping that they will not become the target of being ransacked by madness!
Many tourists who were visiting on Coronali Street naturally saw Ye Tian and the others.
Like most people's reactions, these guys looked at Ye Tian and their eyes, each of them was full of curiosity and a bit of horror.
Of course, there are also some guys who are not too busy to watch the excitement and seem quite excited.
"I'm going! The Steven actually came to Coronary Street. It is conceivable that this famous antique street will be inevitable and will be looted by the fellow Steven."
"Yes! Yesterday's Botsayman open-air market was ransacked frantically by the Steven. If it weren't for the strange terrorist attack threat, all the antique dealers in the market could not escape bad luck!"
In the midst of people's discussions, Ye Tian and the others had pushed open the door of an antique shop on the street, walked into the antique shop, and disappeared from the street.
In another antique shop a few tens of meters away, Bowie, who had changed his personal image again, was watching a landscape painting hanging on the display wall, watching very intently.
Time passed quickly, and it was almost noon in the blink of an eye.
In the past two or three hours, Ye Tian and the others have swept through most of Coronary Avenue and visited no less than 20 antique shops and galleries of various sizes and quality.
Compared with the stall owners, antique shop owners, and gallery owners in the Botsaymen open-air market, the level of the antique dealers who run the antique art business on Coronali Street is obviously much higher.
Most of these guys have been in this industry for decades, and some are even family-owned businesses. They have been in business for hundreds of years. Almost everyone can be called an expert in antique art appraisal, with a sharp vision!
These guys know all about the antique artworks displayed in their shops or galleries, and there is little chance of taking treasures.
Naturally, Ye Tian wanted to pick up leaks on this famous antique street, and it was much more difficult than before.
Even so, after two or three hours, he still has a lot of gains.
The hands of David and the others were all full of the spoils that Ye Tian had captured. Taylor also had a second-hand metal trolley suitcase filled with valuable antique artworks.
As for Bowie, who followed behind and secretly cooperated with Ye Tian in sweeping this antique street, he also gained a lot, but he did not attract anyone's attention!
At this time, Ye Tian was in an antique shop on the side of the street, holding a canvas oil painting in his hand and discussing the price with the owner. The negotiation had come to an end.
Betty and the others were standing aside, watching the show with a smile, and turning their heads from time to time to admire the other antique artworks displayed in this antique shop.
"Simeone, 28,000 euros, this is my last offer. If you can accept it, then we have both money and money. If you can't accept this price, then I can only turn around and leave!"
Ye Tian said with a smile, but his tone was very firm.
Hearing his words, Simeone, the antique shop owner, did not immediately respond.
He first glanced at Ye Tian deeply, trying to see something so that he could make a judgment.
It's a pity that he didn't see anything. The hateful face in front of him was always filled with a bright smile, as if carved on that face, and it never disappeared!
Other than that, that hateful face didn't seem to show any other expressions.
After murmured a few words to himself in depression, Simeone looked at the painting in Ye Tian's hand again to see if there was any new discovery.
He couldn't be more familiar with that painting. He had read it hundreds of times before he said it, and studied it carefully no less than ten times. At this time, it seemed that everything was the same without any new discoveries.
The scene suddenly became quiet, Simeone fell into contemplation, and Ye Tian looked at the antique shop owner with a smile on his face, waiting for him to make a decision.
After pondering for a moment, Simeone finally made a decision. The antique shop owner bit his molars and said:
"Well, Steven, 28,000 euros, I accept this offer, as long as the bank transfer is completed, this classicist painting belongs to you, and you can take it away.
But I have a request. After completing the transaction, you'd better explain why you want to buy this oil painting. This is the work of that artist again? To solve my confusion! "
"Deal! Simeone, I can agree to your request. After the transaction is completed, I will explain this oil painting, tell me the reason for buying this oil painting, and my appraisal conclusion.
I also have a request. You must provide me with a certificate stating that the painting was purchased in your shop and the price so that I can take it out of Italy! "
With that said, Ye Tian shook hands with Simeone and concluded the art deal.
The next thing was simple. Ye Tian quickly completed the bank transfer and paid the purchase price. Simeone wrote a certificate by hand and handed it to Ye Tian.
Ye Tian took a look at the supporting documents, and then passed them to David for careful review.
He looked at Simeone himself, smiled and said:
"Simeone, why should I buy this oil on canvas? The reason is very simple. I think this is the work of the artist Caravaggio, and it is an important artwork in the transition from Renaissance to Baroque.
As we all know, ~EbookFREE.me~ Caravaggio is a swordsman painter. His life is short, and his artistic career is even shorter. Most of his time is spent in wandering and exile. There are only a handful of works created and passed down.
He is known as the last master of the Renaissance and the first master of Baroque art. The style of this painting appropriately reflects the alternation of these two great periods in art history.
In this regard, this oil painting is very special. I am afraid that this is the only one in the history of art. It is of great research value. It is precisely because this painting has both classicism and baroque style, you can’t distinguish it..."
Before the words were over, the antique shop was thoroughly fried.
A terrible cry suddenly came out, resounding through the entire antique shop, and through the entire Coronari Avenue!
"Steven, you and he are a robber, a liar! Only 28,000 euros, I actually sold a masterpiece of Caravaggio at this price, what a stupid man!"
Needless to say, this scream is of course from Simeone!
