The reason why Yan Liben's painting has such a high historical evaluation is firstly reflected in the painting technique.

When painting, he not only paid attention to depicting the common characteristics, temperament and appearance of the emperors of the past dynasties, but also successfully created typical historical figures with outstanding personalities according to the political actions of each emperor and the different circumstances and fates. For iron line drawing, clothing lines, beards, etc. are evenly thin and straight, the color is thick and the smudge is obvious. These painting skills are all excellent painting skills in ancient Chinese paintings, so after this painting was created, it was immediately used by many people. Tang Dynasty painters regarded it as a sample of early Tang painting.

While Yan Liben successfully portrayed the personal characters of the emperors, he also expressed the painter's evaluation of them in the painting, that is, the records of those lists.

For example, in those lists, Emperor Wen of Wei, Cao Pi, was knowledgeable and talented; Emperor Wu of Jin, Sima Yan, was profound and measured, and completed the cause of unifying the world; Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yu Wenyong, was rude and strong, with no culture. A man of great strategy and ability, he recaptured power from his uncle and further unified the entire north; Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian was a famous, peaceful person on the surface, but had a lot of scheming and suspicion in his heart; Emperor Yang of Sui Yang Guang, handsome in appearance, very smart, but exaggerated, fanciful, and enjoyable; Chen Wendi Chen Yan is also beautiful, knowledgeable, and capable.

The descriptions in the list, etc., are completely consistent with the performance of his statues in the painting, so this painting is so famous that it is called the pinnacle of the painting at that time.

Up to now, it has been studied by many people as an ancient historical document, regardless of the artistic value of this painting. The historical value of this painting alone is enough to be regarded as a classic must-see painting by many people who study history.

This painting is on silk, color and 51.3 cm in length and 531 cm in width. Now it hangs quietly on the wall behind the glass cover.

Jin Muchen really wanted to smash those glass shields with one punch, but considering that he wanted to protect the painting, he took out the laser glass knife he had prepared for a long time, carefully cut open the outer glass shield, and then cut the painting Carefully took it off and put it directly into the Ziyu space.

Also happy at the same time. The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston is so proud and complacent that there is no siren connected to the police station behind the painting. It seems that they have lived comfortably for too long.

Before the action, Jesse also specially warned him if he wanted to take those paintings. Be careful, don't look at the cool alarm devices in the movie, but maybe they will install an alarm device connected to the police station behind those famous paintings.

Such devices are very common in modern museums. Once someone takes the paintings off the wall, they will definitely touch the alarm device installed behind the paintings. The police station will definitely receive the alert at the first time and respond.

But the Boston Museum of Fine Arts may have been too comfortable in the past. Maybe they thought that the masters behind them were too arrogant, and no one dared to come to their tiger's mouth to pluck the hair, so they didn't install this device at all, which made Jin Muchen happy.

Do you think that no one dares to pluck hair from a tiger's mouth? Lao Tzu is going to break ground on Tai Sui today!

Yan Liben's painting was won, and Song Huizong's work was next.

Although Song Huizong Zhao Ji had no way to govern the country, he was quite accomplished in calligraphy and painting. The level of copying is also very high.

As an emperor, this guy was rated as a dwarf. He has been nailed to the pillar of shame in history, and history has given him an evaluation. It means "one cannot be a king", which means that if this guy is not an emperor, then he will definitely become a very famous calligrapher, painter, and artist. . .

Although it is not good to be an emperor, as an artist, he can be regarded as a very famous Wenqing emperor in the history of Chinese art.

And his works of art, because of his very high artistic attainments, are also very popular in the antique market.

In the 2002 Jiade Spring Auction, Song Huizong's authentic "Sketch of Rare Birds from Life" sold for 25.3 million yuan. This shows that this Wenqing emperor's danqing work is still quite popular in the market.

The Boston Museum has a collection of Song Huizong's copy of Zhang Xuan, a famous Tang Dynasty painter, and the "Five-color Parrot Picture" signed by Song Huizong.

Zhang Xuan was a native of Jingzhao in the Tang Dynasty. During the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, he was a painter of the History Museum. He painted paintings of workers and ladies, especially in painting noble women, children, and pommel horses. , which can reveal the psychological state of the characters through pen and ink.

His "Tao Lian Tu" depicts the labor scene of women in the palace of the Tang Dynasty processing Bai Lian. There are ten figures in total, with different expressions and different postures, which are vividly portrayed.

On the screen, the fear of heat and the curiosity of watching girls are also vividly displayed.

This painting in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts is not the real work of Zhang Xuan, but a copy of Song Huizong's "Tanning and Training". Although it is not as vivid as Zhang Xuan's painting, it can also be called lifelike and full of spirit. Effect.

Coupled with the fame of Song Huizong, the value of this painting is no less than that of Zhang Xuan's original work.

This painting and the "Song's Copy of the Lady of the State of Guo's Tour in Spring" held in the Liaoning Provincial Museum were called the double-walled work of poetry and painting by Song Huizong by the literati and writers of later generations.

It's just that this painting was kidnapped by the Jin people after the Jingkang disaster. Later, Song Huizong's wife was casually played with, and she became a prisoner from the king of a country, and died in depression and joy. This painting of him has become an ornament for the rulers of the Jin Dynasty. There is even an inscription "Tian Shui Copy" by Jin Zhangzong Wanyanjing on this painting.

Leaving aside national sentiments, this painting can be regarded as a masterpiece that has been handed down in the past. Of course, Jin Muchen did not let it go. He also took off the glass shield and put this painting in his pocket.

Right next to this "Tampering and Training Picture" copied by Song Huizong, there is another painting created by him, which is the famous "Five-color Parrot Picture".

In addition to copying the paintings of other famous masters, Song Huizong also has very obvious characteristics in his own artistic creation, the most famous of which are his flower and bird paintings.

There is no detailed record of how many flower-and-bird paintings he has painted, but there are a total of nineteen paintings that have been handed down to this day, which is definitely an incredible figure for a painter of that era.

Some of these flower and bird paintings are in China, and some have been lost overseas. There are a few in the Baodao and Xiangjiang areas.

In the United States, there are two, one of which is "Bamboo Birds" in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

Another one is collected in the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, which is the "Five-Colored Parrot" described in "Shiqu Baoji".

The parrot in the painting is the apricot flower that Huizong once praised with the words "cutting the ice silk, shamelessly killing the official daughter of Ruizhu". Poems written by imperial inscriptions are definitely a masterpiece of both calligraphy and painting!

Jin Muchen cut open the glass shield and took this "Five-color Parrot Picture" into his pocket without hesitation.

The other paintings are not counted, just these three paintings, if they are estimated according to the value of RMB, they are already worth hundreds of millions of RMB. The most precious of them is Yan Liben's "Picture of Emperors of the Past Dynasties". This painting alone It can definitely be described as priceless.

If it was normal, Jin Muchen would have been mad with joy when he got these three paintings, but now, he is still not satisfied, because this is a big golden mountain, these three paintings are only appetizers, just the beginning.

Walking a few steps forward, I saw the paintings of Fan Kuan, one of the four famous masters of the Northern Song Dynasty collected in this museum, "Pavilions of Snow Mountains", "Maps of Xiao Temples in Snow Mountains";

Don't say anything more, just open the pry, pry open the glass shield, and put the painting directly into the purple jade space.

After walking a few steps, I came across Chen Yongzhi's painting. This Chen Yongzhi is known to be the best at the Western Regions painting style of 'with Chinese Taoism'. the only painting.

On the other side of the exhibition hall is the "Nine Dragons" in the collection of the art museum. This painting is the work of Chen Rong, who was good at painting ink dragons in the Song Dynasty.

Chen Rong, courtesy name Mozhu, nicknamed Soo Weng, was a native of Changle, Fujian. He served as an official at Guozijian and later as a doctor in Chaosan. He is famous for his paintings of ink dragons.

There are only four surviving works of his now~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Among them, there are two "Ink Dragons", one is in the East Guangdong Provincial Museum, and the other is in the Palace Museum in Beijing; there is also a "Five Dragons", which is now Collection at the Nelson Museum of Art.

The "Nine Dragons" is hidden in this museum.

The ink dragon painting began in the Five Dynasties, and the dragon fish painting was created in the Northern Song Dynasty. The ink dragon painted by Chen Rong can be regarded as the benchmark of all generations. As many as 55 kinds of his words have been recorded by later generations, but only these 4 have survived.

Yes, in addition to this "Nine Dragons", this art museum also collects other painters in the Northern Song Dynasty. , Although it is an imitation of Chen Rong's paintings, the painting skills are not bad, and the painting skills are also excellent. If it can be preserved to the present, it can be regarded as a first-class masterpiece. Of course, Jin Muchen will not let it go, and will collect them one by one.

Almost all the works displayed in this exhibition hall are famous works that can be called famous in history. These can be regarded as the fine art exhibitions of famous Chinese painters in the Tang and Song Dynasties. The essence of the ancient Chinese famous paintings collected by the Boston Museum of Fine Arts is almost It's all gathered here.

Jin Muchen was rude and swept away the paintings of these famous masters of the past dynasties. . . (To be continued)
