Happy Tycoon

When Yang Jing opened a large wooden box, it revealed as many as eight well-preserved oil paintings. The first oil painting gave Yang Jing a big surprise not inferior to the three sculptures just now.

The most fascinating thing in this oil painting is that the fruit body of the gentle woman is holding a white swan that reaches her shoulder height. The white swan’s raised neck presents a wonderful arc, and this fruit body The graceful figure of the woman complements each other, making this painting very warm.

On the woman's right, there are two naked boys playing, with the lakeside forest in the background.

Almost at the first glance, Yang Jing recognized the painting.

"Could this be the real work of Leonardo da Vinci's favorite "Lida and the Swan"?" Yang Jing muttered to himself in surprise.

"Lida and the Swan" is an oil painting created by Leonardo da Vinci in 1503. After this painting was created, Leonardo liked it very much and kept it with him, even when Leonardo settled in Paris in his later years. , I have been carrying this painting all the time, which shows Leonardo's love for this painting.

It’s just a pity that after Leonardo’s death, the original "Lida and the Swan" was lost. The "Lida and the Swan" that is now kept in the Uffizi Museum in Florence, Italy, is just a later copy. Just make it.

But even if it is imitation, it is also a priceless existence.

And there is another one here. Is this work the real one? In terms of the wealth of Nicholas II, it seems that it is not surprising that the original Leonardo is collected.

Yang Jing used the appraisal skills, and sure enough, the answer given by the holy ring made Yang Jing couldn't help but be overjoyed—"Lida and the Swan, Leonardo Di Piero da Vinci, 1503."

"Sure enough, it is the original piece of "Lida and the Swan" painted by Leonardo!" Yang Jing waved his fist excitedly.

The value of this original work is definitely not under the "Smile of Mona Lisa" by Leonardo da Vinci. After all, from the author's point of view, Leonardo prefers the work "Lida and the Swan". And from an artistic point of view, "Lida and the Swan" is definitely not worse than "Mona Lisa's Smile".

This is another indisputable priceless treasure.

Four priceless treasures appeared in a row, which made Yang Jing's original excitement begin to feel a little numb.

How many treasures did this Nicholas II search?

Yang Jing didn't dare to imagine that there was anything precious in the next baby, but the facts made Yang Jing really numb.

In addition to this "Lida and the Swan", there is also an oil painting by Leonardo in this box. This oil painting is rarely seen in historical records, but it is definitely by Leonardo.

Among the masterpieces handed down by Leonardo, there is an oil painting called "Portrait of a Musician", which is now in the collection of the Ambrosius Art Museum in Milan, Italy. It is also an invaluable oil painting.

However, it has been mentioned in some very few historical records that when Da Vinci created this "Portrait of Musician", he did not create this work. He also created two works titled "The Sculptor". The paintings of "Portrait" and "Portrait of an Artist", it's a pity that these two oil paintings were lost long ago.

The oil painting found in this box is "Portrait of the Sculptor" created by Leonardo da Vinci.

This is another surprise.

In addition to the two works by Leonardo da Vinci, Yang Jing also found a painting by Raphael called "The Madonna under the Tree" and an oil painting called "The Smile of the Madonna" created by Raphael.

As the three post-Renaissance masters who are as famous as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, Raphael Sanzio's status in the Western art world is naturally beyond doubt. This master, who lived only 37 years old, created nearly 300 works in his life, and only half of them have been handed down.

As we all know, Raphael is famous for painting the Virgin. Among all the painters who paint the Virgin, no one can do it. The painting of the Virgin has become synonymous with Raphael.

Both of these works are paintings of the Virgin, which have appeared in some historical records, but now no one has seen the original works. Later generations thought that these original works had been lost or destroyed.

What I didn't expect was that these two works were actually collected by Nicholas II...

In addition to the four paintings by Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael, Yang Jing also found two works by Angel in this box.

Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, the most prestigious neoclassical painter, aesthetic theorist and educator in France in the nineteenth century, Ingres was ranked among the top ten painters in the world in the Western art world Ranked fifth, even ahead of Paul Cezanne, Picasso and Van Gogh.

Ingres studied under Napoleon's chief painter Davit in his early years. Later, after Davit went into exile in Belgium, Ingres became the standard bearer of French neoclassicism and the most famous painter in French history.

As for the remaining two paintings in this box, to Yang Jing's surprise, they are also works by a French painter. This master is Paul Cezanne.

The eight oil paintings found in a box are all authentic works at the level of masters or even grandmasters. Apart from using incredible descriptions, Yang Jing can no longer find a better adjective.

In the next boxes, Yang Jing found dozens of oil paintings by European painters, many of which were works by Rubens, Monet, Repin, and others. Of course, more were works by Russian painters. .

For example, paintings by famous artists such as Alexei Safrasov, Ivan Shishkin, Mikhail Vrubel, Ivan Aivazovsky, etc.

These oil paintings alone are enough to support a medium-sized museum.

In addition to oil paintings, Yang Jin also found a lot of sketches and watercolors, and even in a box, Yang Jing found a large number of manuscripts.

Among these manuscripts, Yang Jing unexpectedly found the original manuscript of Leo Tolstoy's "War and Peace" and the original manuscript of the script "The Forces of Darkness".

In addition to Leo Tolstoy’s manuscripts, Yang Jing also discovered the manuscripts of another great writer. This great writer has a higher status in the Western literary world than Leo Tolstoy, because this guy has A name too famous-Shakespeare!

Among these manuscripts, Yang Jing found a very good manuscript that was carefully preserved. Upon seeing this manuscript, Yang Jing was surprised to find that it turned out to be the script manuscript of "Hamlet" written by Shakespeare.

In addition to this precious Shakespeare manuscript, Yang Jing also discovered three manuscripts by another great writer, this great writer is Victor Hugo.

The largest of these three manuscripts is a manuscript of "Notre Dame de Paris", with more than 80,000 words. In addition to this precious manuscript, there are two sketches drawn by Mr. Hugo himself...

The value of these manuscripts is definitely not under the value of those oil paintings, they are absolutely priceless.

In addition to the manuscript, Yang Jing also found a large number of black-and-white photos and hand-drawn portraits in a box. Although these are all photos and hand-drawn portraits, the content in them is absolutely precious.

There are many photos of Alexander III and Nicholas II's enthronement and their wedding, as well as many photos of the tsar talking with members of the royal families of other European countries. As for the hand-painted portraits, they include all the czars and queens of the Romanov dynasty.

These photos and hand-painted portraits are definitely extremely precious historical materials, and just letting them out is enough to cause historians to go crazy.

Several boxes contained precious jewellery, including those worn by Emperor Catherine the Great when he became king, as well as the jewellery worn by several czars and queens when they were married. Among them, the scepter held by Catherine II when he came to the throne is extremely precious. This 50-centimeter-long scepter accompanied a generation of female czars to the throne and witnessed the great achievements of this great female czar in her life. .

Among these precious jewellery, there are three crowns alone. Necklaces, rings, bracelets, brooches, earrings and other jewellery are calculated on the basis of boxes. Anything that comes out is a priceless treasure.

These jewels were worn by the empresses or queens of the Romanov dynasty, and many of them were gifts from other European royal families. Now, they are precious jewellery that can be encountered but not sought.

In a box, Yang Jing also found a series of gems such as diamonds, red sapphires, emeralds and even emeralds. Any one of these gems can become the final piece of an auction, but here, they can only be put together in piles.

Just like the red diamond that Yang Jing saw the size of a pigeon egg, if it were taken out, it would definitely make women all over the world go crazy.

This diamond is not only big ~www.readwn.com~, but also the color is very gorgeous, and because this huge red diamond has been cut, even Yang Jing can't help but be a little fascinated by the fire.

After seeing the box full of gems, Yang Jing knew how the eight gems he got from the totem pole came from.

Even those eight gems are not so brilliant in this box of gems. Among the gems in this box, there are some gems that are more brilliant and beautiful than the eight gems...

It is no exaggeration to say that if the other treasures don't want it, just this box of gems can make Yang Jing the world's richest man immediately.

Even the richest man in the world can never have so many exquisite gems. These gems are described in a relatively popular language, that is, "can be met but not sought." You can never buy this kind of gemstone with money alone.

These gems are estimated to have been accumulated by the Romanov dynasty for more than three hundred years. Can they not be precious? How can ordinary gems be seen by the czar?

In addition to these gems, Yang Jing also found a surprise...
