Chapter 195 [195] Master Xiao Tang, I Give In.

"This painting is a fake at first glance. Is it worth identifying?"

"Yes, it's obvious that it's not from Tang Bohu's hand. Even an ordinary appraiser can identify it."

"Tang Bohu's paintings of ladies have fine lines and a noble atmosphere. Or the brushwork is sharp and the pen turns are strong. In short, they are full of spirituality. But this painting is very dull."

"Indeed, the fake craftsmanship of this painting is too poor..."

Everyone just glanced at it and unanimously determined that this painting of ladies was a fake.

Including Zhang Jicheng, he also agreed with everyone's opinion.

Because this painting is too obviously fake, it doesn't have the chic and lively temperament of Tang Bohu at all.

To put it bluntly, it is an insult to them to bring out such an obvious fake for them to identify.

Xue Yingjie listened to everyone's comments with a smile on his face.

Until everyone sat down again, he turned back to look at Tang Feng, "You have heard everyone's opinions, it's your turn to identify."

Tang Feng did not act rashly this time, but picked up the painting and looked at it carefully twice, spending nearly five or six minutes, and then slowly put it down.

"I already have the result."

"Then announce your answer." Xue Yingjie stared at him with burning eyes.

Everyone present was also curious.

Although this game has nothing to do with the outcome of this challenge.

But they are still very curious about what kind of answer Tang Feng will give.

"This painting is indeed not from Tang Bohu's hand..." Tang Feng paused here.

Everyone started to discuss.

"I told you, this is a fake, even an ordinary appraiser can identify it."

"This young Master Tang finally agrees with us once, I thought he would sing a different tune again."

"Anyone who has a little knowledge of Chinese painting can see that this painting is wrong."

"Isn't this third round too unchallenging?"

Everyone felt that this third round was too simple, and it ended so hastily, which always felt a bit anticlimactic.

But at this moment, Tang Feng continued to say: "Although this painting was not made by Tang Bohu, it cannot be called a fake. To be precise, it is a Qing Dynasty imitation."

"Wow..."

His conclusion was beyond everyone's expectations.

They just appraised it for a short time. After seeing that this painting was not made by Tang Bohu, they subconsciously thought it was fake and did not associate it with an imitation.

When they heard Tang Feng mention it at this time, they were all very curious.

"Imitation of the Qing Dynasty? Are you sure?" Xue Yingjie looked at Tang Feng with interest.

"I am sure." Tang Feng's face was full of confidence.

"Then tell me, who copied this painting?" Xue Yingjie continued to ask.

Everyone present felt that he was being difficult.

It was already very rare to be able to tell that it was a Qing Dynasty imitation.

There were so many painters in the Qing Dynasty, and the famous and unknown ones added up, if not a thousand, there must be eight hundred.

Trying to find the imitator from so many painters is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

You must be very familiar with the style and technique of the imitator, and then make a rough judgment after a long period of comparison.

And Tang Feng only observed for five or six minutes, how could he find the answer?

Xue Yingjie also felt that he was being difficult, so he had to speak again, "It's really a bit difficult for you to name the specific person. If you can't guess it, it's no big deal..."

"In fact, everyone here knows this imitator." Tang Feng interrupted before he finished speaking, "This person is... Qianlong."

"Boom..."

As soon as he said this, a lot of discussion immediately broke out at the scene.

No one expected that this would be the answer.

This Emperor Qianlong called himself the "Ten Perfect Old Man".

His biggest hobby was to stamp his seals on calligraphy and paintings by various celebrities, and he was also called the stamping maniac.

He was very obsessed with art.

He wrote more than 40,000 poems, more than 10,000 calligraphy pieces, and more than 1,400 paintings in his lifetime, most of which were imitations of the works of his predecessors.

But this guy was both a novice and a playful person.

Among the more than 40,000 poems, not a single one could be included in elementary school textbooks.

The same is true for calligraphy and paintings, and there are only a few that can truly become handed down works.

Xue Yingjie was absent-minded for a moment, but soon came back to his senses, "You said this painting was painted by Qianlong? What evidence do you have?"

Everyone present looked at Tang Feng curiously, wanting to hear what he had to say.

Tang Feng slowly stood up and took the painting in his hand, "It's very simple, the paper used in this painting is Bailu paper, which is used by the court."

"Even if it was used by the court, it can't be confirmed that it was Qianlong, right?" Xue Yingjie continued to refute.

"Indeed, it could have been done by other emperors or princes, but..."

Tang Feng paused, and continued: "Compared with other Qing emperors, Qianlong's artistic achievements are slightly higher and his works are more."

"And this painting of a lady obviously incorporates some of Lang Shining's Western painting style, everyone take a look..."

Tang Feng pointed out the details of the painting one by one, and used the screening method to narrow the scope bit by bit.

In the end, only one answer was left.

The person who painted this painting is Qianlong.

After listening to his well-reasoned explanation, everyone was so shocked that they couldn't speak for a long time.

"Pa!"

After a while, Pei Tianyuan took the lead in clapping his hands.

Then there was a burst of applause.

This young man's attainments in antiques are indeed advanced, not inferior to theirs at all.

It can even be said that he has surpassed them and can completely establish a school.

What is even more surprising is that he is still so young.

He is definitely a genius among geniuses.

Given time, he will become a great man.

As long as Yayuan can retain such talents, it will surely rise with the wind.

Xue Yingjie shook his head with a wry smile, walked in front of Tang Feng, and bowed to the ground.

"Master Xiao Tang, I surrender. From now on, you will be the first among the young generation of Antique Street!"

Everyone was surprised again when they heard his words.

Even Xue Yingjie was in awe. It seems that no one can stop this young man from rising.

Antique Street, I am afraid it will be reshuffled.
