Chapter 522: Stolen Impressionist Paintings

Ye Tian's eyes easily penetrated the wall and projected directly on the oil painting on the north wall of the bedroom, and he had no time to care about the others!
In his eyes, this oil painting radiates a dazzling red light, which is extremely beautiful!
According to the intensity of the red light, he instantly determined the creation time of this oil painting.
And the attractive halo of nearly twenty layers on the surface of the oil painting is a very accurate description of the artistic value of this painting!
This is an oil painting created in the late 1870s and early 1980s. It was produced by the top masters of painting and has extraordinary artistic value and market value!
Of course, this can never be Thompson's work! Their family's ancestral grave will definitely not be able to emit this blue smoke!
"Claude Monet! It's so beautiful!"
Ye Tian whispered the name of the oil painting and continued to admire this famous painting through perspective. His eyes were filled with excitement, even a little drunk!
That's right! This is Monet's painting, and it is one of his masterpieces!
! Famous impressionist paintings in art history!
Claude Monet, a famous French painter, chief of Impressionism, and known as the leader of Impressionism, is one of the representatives and founders of Impressionism.
Monet is one of the most important painters in France, and most of the theories and practices of Impressionism are promoted by him.
The Impressionist movement, which originated in France in the 1860s, was mighty and prosperous. Its edge was to oppose the outdated classical painting school, as well as to indulge in medieval chivalry literature and fall into artificial romanticism.
The Impressionist movement can be seen as the peak of naturalism in the nineteenth century, and it can also be seen as the starting point of modern art.
Claude Monet's name has always been closely related to Impressionism, and he has contributed more to the formation of this artistic genre and the new methods he used to depict reality than anyone else.
It can be said that it is through the hands of Monet that Impressionism can truly flourish!
Impressionism has had an extremely significant impact on the history of Western art! It broke through the conservative ideas of the academic school and greatly impacted the official art that occupied the dominant position in the Western painting scene in the late 19th century!
As a result, the history of Western modern painting was able to open a new page!
As the leader of Impressionism and the first impressionist painter to succeed, Monet has an extremely important position in the history of French art, and even in the history of Western art.
Monet is good at experimentation and performance techniques of light and shadow, and revolutionized the drawing of shadows and contour lines, which is his most important style.
In Monet's paintings, there are no very clear shadows, no prominent or flat outlines.
In addition, Monet's use of color is also very delicate. He used many paintings of the same theme to experiment with the perfect expression of color and light.
He has long explored the expressive effects of light and air, and often painted multiple pictures of the same object under different times and lights, expressing momentary feelings from the changes in natural light and color.
Monet's artistic career is very long, and the peak period is quite lasting, just like his life!
In his life, he created countless works, leaving many immortal masterpieces for the world art history, as well as huge spiritual wealth!
The one in front of me is the work of Monet's peak period, and it was created in 1879 in Argenteuil on the Seine in the suburbs of Paris.
Near the picture is a poppy flower field in full bloom, with several figures scattered in the flower field, and in the distance are gentle hills, woods, lakes, and villages.
At this time, Monet's life was relatively stable. The characters in the painting are his wife Camille and their six-year-old son Jean. The mother and son are collecting flowers in the field, enjoying the sunshine and being completely intoxicated in nature.
The characters in the painting give people a soft and rhythmic movement, but the bright red patches in the painting are the essence of this work, and it is Monet's faithfulness to the light and color that comes into view. Depict.
Although the shapes of these patches have poppy characteristics, they are not specific.
Some of them are overlapped, some are randomly placed, and some are reduced for performance in the back, but the dull, monotonous background accentuates the bright and bright warm colors.
"The luck of this guy Thompson is really great, or indeed his hands and eyes are open to the sky, he can even get this oil painting. It's awesome!"
Ye Tian sighed with emotion in his heart, and was very envious!
Of course this is a stolen artwork, otherwise it would not appear here!
In February 2008, the exhibition hall of the Bierle Foundation in Zurich, Switzerland was looted by three masked and armed robbers and robbed of the four handed down works that were on display there.
This famous painting by Monet is one of them!
The other three oil paintings are also representative works of top art masters, each of which is very valuable.
They are Cezanne's; Edgar Degas's; Van Gogh's.
Of course it is not the one that Ye Tian sold before, but a sitting oil painting of the same model, one of the series!
The total value of these four robbed oil paintings is more than 160 million U.S. dollars, and the robbery is considered to be one of the largest art robberies in the world.
However, the US$160 million is only an estimate in 2008!
In recent years, the prices of top art works have continued to skyrocket. The total value of these four oil paintings has already risen, and it is estimated that 500 million US dollars will be unstoppable!
"I don't know if the other three stolen oil paintings of the Biller Foundation are also in Thompson's hands? If they are, that would be great. You guys will definitely make a fortune!"
Ye Tian thought happily, obviously looking forward to Shu!
After admiring this Monet masterpiece for a while, Ye Tiancai shifted his gaze and looked at other places.
The time is not right now, and it’s not too late to appreciate this famous painting in the future!
At this moment, in his heart, he seems to have regarded this famous painting as his own, and he is only temporarily borrowing Thompson to hang it for two days, and it will be recovered soon!
While regaining his gaze, he had secretly decided that when he went back to negotiate with the FBI Art Crime Team and the Swiss Bierle Foundation, he should take this famous painting for whatever he said.
As for the other three famous paintings, if they are in the hands of Thompson, then try to get another one. If they are not, then there is nothing wrong!
But in any case, this buddy must be taken, no one else should take it!
If there is no other way, buddies don't mind playing black and black!
Perspective continues!
Soon, Ye Tian found a pair of special glasses in the desk drawer.
It is exactly the same as the pair of glasses used by Leo at the previous charity auction. These are special glasses, specially used to see and wear camouflage and identify oil paintings hidden under special paints.
Of course, Thompson would not use it to identify the authenticity of oil paintings. He used it to appreciate the two top oil paintings in the room.
In addition to this pair of glasses, Ye Tian found two more antiques in the prayer area, a pair of French rococo style gilt candlesticks from the mid-nineteenth century.
This pair of candlesticks should come from the French royal family, as can be seen from the style and craftsmanship!
Although this pair of candlesticks also has a certain value, it is not worth mentioning when compared with the two top oil paintings! Ye Tian no longer puts this thing in his eyes!
His gaze swept across the pair of candlesticks, and then to other places.
In a blink of an eye, Ye Tian looked through the entire suite, and never found other antique artworks.
There is a safe under the bookcase, but there are only some US dollars and Euros in it, about tens of thousands of dollars, and there is no surprise, not even a passport!
Thompson definitely has other hiding places, and it's nearby!
International art thieves like him must be prepared to run away at any time. There is no doubt about passports with multiple identities, and passports are definitely within reach!
But Ye Tian doesn't care much about this, he loves to run but not to run! Just leave these top art works!
During the fluoroscopy process, Ye Tian also saw several pinhole cameras, all of which were very hidden, monitoring the entire room with almost no blind spots!
A place installed in the doorway, hidden in the light, condescending to monitor the door!
There is also a camera on the opposite side of the two top oil paintings, one in the bookshelf and the other in the wall clock, monitoring two precious oil paintings.
In addition, there are pinhole cameras directly opposite the windows of the three rooms, monitoring every place that may invade this suite, and consider very carefully!
Needless to say, there must be hidden pinhole cameras in the corridors, monitoring the corridors and doorways outside!
If anyone can't fool these pinhole cameras, Thompson will know immediately once he invades this room, so he can quickly take corresponding precautions.
And here is not just a pinhole camera. Behind the two paintings, there is also a high-sensitivity sensor, which is very concealed and cannot be seen from the front of the painting!
Even if someone deceived the surveillance and broke into this suite, as long as he touched the two paintings, Thompson would also receive an alarm immediately.
That is, Ye Tian, ​​who can find these through perspective, and if anyone else breaks into this room, I am afraid that he will not be able to fool Thompson's eyes.
"It's impossible to guard against! What an old fox, it's extremely cunning! But it's a pity that you ran into a buddy. These things are destined to be deaf ears, just furnishings!"
Ye Tian sighed to himself ~EbookFREE.me~ and smiled triumphantly.
But in his heart, he paid more attention to Thompson's opponent.
The next action must be extremely cautious, and there must be no mistakes, otherwise it is very likely that there will be a carelessness and a loss.
The perspective of this suite was quickly completed, and the harvest was immense!
Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian retracted his sight and ended the perspective.
After taking a break and calming down his excitement, Ye Tian looked at a room next to him again, and continued his perspective.
There are people in the next room. A clergyman in his fifties is reading in the study, quietly.
In this suite, Ye Tian did not find anything of value, let alone antique art!
In just two or three seconds, he ended the investigation, and then moved his gaze to another room on the first floor to continue the perspective investigation.
Ye Tian walked along the east side of the small building from north to south, like a tourist who has a soft spot for ancient buildings, admiring and studying this small building, his expression is very focused, nothing suspicious!
This is a building built in 1723, there are not many in the United States!
And it also has very important historical significance. Every year, many people come to pay their respects and study. What is suspicious of one more Ye Tian!
It didn't take long before Ye Tian walked to the south end of Xiaolou.
He had already done a secret perspective on the rooms and basements on the east side of the small building, and a room had fallen!
However, he did not find Thompson's private studio in a few basements on the east side of the small building!
Obviously, Thompson's studio is in the basements on the west side.
After a short pause, Ye Tian stepped towards the west side of the small building, ready to continue the perspective exploration!
