The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

Chapter 729: Leonardo da Vinci's "Medusa"

Currency and handicrafts are not for appreciation, but they are counted in units of "tons" in the warehouse. In addition to shock, the rest is shock.

Nicole told Ajani that the day they bought the half of the manor next door, they discovered the treasures of gold coins that have been counted in the history of the United States. It is definitely the most sensational in recent decades!

With good luck and good luck, there is no shortage of miracles in my own man!

Open another warehouse, and there are still all kinds of boxes stacked like a mountain.

"Basically all kinds of jewellery and antiques are here, either precious metals or gems.

These are also more troublesome. There are hundreds of crowns and crowns of various kinds. God knows what era and which country it is. It is impossible to find out the origins of them all.

There are also hundreds of sacks of gold and silverware. It is estimated that they will always be a mystery. I have not figured out many of what they were originally doing..."

I don't understand, if you count hundreds of boxes of other jewelry, let alone the earthlings, the Martians will be dizzy when they come.

Looking at a few crowns at random, Zhang Nan pointed to the boxes that were released separately and said: "These are all gems, diamonds, red sapphires, and emeralds.

Originally, I found much more than this. I asked our chief jewellery appraiser and designer to choose once, and most of the gems with a lower grade have been sent to the Star Company for whitewashing.

The ones that stay here are of higher quality and larger particles, and they are all kept, and the company can't use that much. "

Open a box at will. Inside are boxes of different sizes, with labels affixed to them.

This box is full of diamonds, not to mention the others, the weight of 5 to 6 carats, about the same grade, is a bag, which is more than one kilogram!

"The appraiser didn't have enough time, so they roughly divided the points. By the way, Brown and Joshua only know about gems and don't know about the treasures of the Third Reich. They have never been here."

There are too many to deal with.

Zhang Nan has the world’s second-largest diamond mining group. The rough diamond market has been able to compete with De Beers. The "Xingchen Jewelry Group" is expanding everywhere. Those "low-end" that Zhang Nan is not very attractive to. The gem can just be digested.

With the expansion of my jewelry industry group, in addition to the top gems, goods such as carat diamonds have completely lost the meaning of collecting for me.

In addition to a few African countries that will be in chaos within two years, as well as the Soviet Union and China, 90% of the large diamond mines that humans will discover in the next two decades are already in their own hands. According to historical mining plans and The world market demand, that can be mined until at least 2040!

As for after...

There will be half a century left until that day. In such a long period of time, if your own diamond group cannot find enough follow-up mines, you should get out of the diamond mining business!

With so many super diamond mines in existence, will there be a lack of high-quality diamonds?

As for other gems, normal trade is enough, not to mention that the warehouses are enough for the family to use for thousands of years.

Don't be too greedy, it will become a stone if you have too much.

There are still a few jewels and boxes of banknotes in the next-door warehouse: US dollars and British pounds in the 1930s and 1940s. It’s better to keep them as an antique one day.

"...Nazis forged, or imitated, pound and dollar bills, each worth tens of thousands of dollars.

But there is too much here, let's put it first. "

Too much is worthless, and fortunately Zhang Nan is not short of money.

The sixth warehouse contains antiques such as sculptures, including ancient Greece, ancient Rome, the Middle Ages, Renaissance, and modern times. A small number of Chinese, Middle Eastern, and Near East cultural relics are also placed here.

Mountain-like literature, books and other antiques are also a warehouse.

There is another warehouse that is the most special. It has very few things, but it is all related to the concentration camp. Those gold teeth and wedding rings are placed there.

When leaving the underground treasury, Adjani said: "Ellen, Nicole, I feel that things are still open, so as not to be caught in a pot."

Nicole smiled and said: "I thought about it a long time ago, don't we still have a private island."

As long as I clicked, what I saw tonight is enough for Ajani and Alice to digest them for a while, and I will talk about it when the opportunity is right in the future.

You know, even Nicole and Jenny have not really seen how terrifying the wealth hidden on a private island in the Mediterranean!

It was only 9 o'clock, little Lily went to bed, and it was Charlie who accompanied her. But even before Ajani was habitually resting, she went to Zhang Nan's study again.

Without letting other people accompany, just this family of five.

The timer of the Napoleon family, Hitler's watch and gun, and the scepter of the Imperial Marshal...

The two women looked numb.

Finally, when he opened the huge safe inside the wall, Zhang Nan took out a round "shield" with a diameter of almost 50 cm.

"Medusa!"

Alice said it directly, but Ajani didn't understand: "Shield" is actually a painting drawn on a circular board, with a weird head popping out of a pile of rocks!

The head is full of locusts, lizards and bats, and there are also a few poisonous snakes!

"This is Medusa? It doesn't look like it."

Ajani is just like this, sometimes straight-hearted, you must know that in the traditional Greek mythology, Medusa's head seemed to be decorated by Athena on the shield, but it was a head full of venomous snakes. In front of her, this " The monsters on the "shield" are nothing like them.

"This is Da Vinci's "Medusa", which is written in the record. It has been missing for at least 400 years."

After listening to Alice, Zhang Nan pointed to the lower left corner of the "shield" and said: "Da Vinci signed all the autographs here, and he didn't hide it at all."

Sure enough, there is a signature there, which can be seen by a closer look.

At this time, Jenny said: "The carbon 14 has been measured, and the oil paint has a life span of 1465 and 15 years. This substrate is wood, and the age is the same."

Zhang Nan put the oil painting on the desk, it was thick and heavy!

Alice generally appreciates the pilgrimage ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ while watching and saying: "As long as the determination is okay, it should be the real Leonardo!

Modern people generally think that Leonardo began to worship Verrocchio as a teacher in 1467, and began to learn art in the teacher's workshop, when Leonardo was already 15 years old.

He is a genius. He completed his first legendary work, "Medusa", when he was only 17 years later.

I used to think that the original painting of this painting has not been handed down. You can only see the "Medusa" painted by Michelangelo Caravaggio in 1597. It is said that Caracova copied Leonardo's original painting.

However, many people doubted this statement, because someone had recorded the process of Leonardo’s painting of this painting.

It seems to be written by a famous painter of Leonardo da Vinci's contemporary era. I can't remember who it was..."

Zhang Nan interrupted Alice and asked: "How do you say it?"

Zhang Nan is very curious: I have determined that this is the original Leonardo da Vinci. It is based on the signature and carbon 14 determination, and the master craftsmanship, but I haven't heard of any records.
