Chapter 3986
This....... is actually a pair of world classic paintings - Mona Lisa.
And, it was the Mona Lisa in the style of Chinese national painting!
Bernard saw this and wanted to die.
In his opinion, this is no longer as simple as insulting the intelligence, right?
Charlie himself was dumbfounded and looked up at Ervin, his eyes were full of questions.
Subsequently, Charlie gave him a wink, which means:
This broken thing, I really do not know how to blow, or you do it yourself.
Although Ervin was scared by Charlie's astronomical figures, but at least he is also an old crook who has
reigned in the antique street for many years.
And has a lot of experience in the real world, so he quickly adapted to this kind of routine.
So he laughed and said to Bernard:
“Mr. Elnor, this painting that I am introducing to you today is enough to shock the whole painting world of
East and West!”
After saying that, he narrated,
“Everyone knows that the Mona Lisa was created by Leonardo da Vinci in the year 1503 AD,”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"But let me tell you, this painting is actually not an original by da Vinci,”
“But by a great painter named Zhao Mengfu (fu) in the late Song and early Yuan dynasties of China.”
Before the words were said, he pointed to the painting in Charlie's hand and said seriously,
“Here, this is the one in Master Wade's hand!”
“And the one painted by Leonardo da Vinci was copied and modified and created twice according to this one, to put
it bluntly, it was copied.”
Bernard, tearless, blurted out,
“How is this possible? Leonardo da Vinci is the master I admire most,”
“And his Mona Lisa is a masterpiece for the ages, how can it be copied!”
Ervin's face is blank, said seriously: “You see, this touches your cognitive blind spot, right!”
“Let me tell you, this painting, created by Mr. Zhao Mengfu at the order of Khan Kublai of the Yuan Dynasty,”
“Was probably created at the end of 1275 A.D.”
More than two hundred years before Leonardo da Vinci, so it's clear who copied who didn't, isn't it?”
“What a load of nonsense!” Bernard said with some annoyance,
“This is never possible! And look for yourself, the woman in your painting is also a Western face!”
“How could there be a woman with a western face in China at that time?” “What do you have to say about such a
big bug?”
Ervin, not the slightest bit panic, with a smile, hurriedly said: “So you have to patiently listen to me to finish the
situation!”
“In 1275 AD, a major event with far-reaching implications occurred in the history of the world, do you know what it
is?”
Bernard said in exasperation, “I don't know!”
Ervin said very seriously: “Mr. Elnor, I'm not saying, you can't just focus on making money,”
“You have to read more and understand history once in a while.”
After saying that, ignoring Bernard's expression of almost vomiting blood, said with a profound face:
“Let me tell you, the year 1275 AD is the time when the famous Western traveler Marco Polo arrived in China!”
After saying that, Ervin looked at Bernard and asked,
“You should know the Travels of Marco Polo, right?”
Bernard was getting mad and said through clenched teeth,
“I know! But what does this have to do with the Mona Lisa!”
Ervin shook his head and sighed, “What an uninformed person.”
He said, before continuing to explain,
“I tell you, at that time Marco Polo went through a lot of hardships and came to the capital of Yuan”
“In the summer of 1275, and was warmly received by Kublai the Great Han.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“In order to promote cultural exchanges between the East and the West,” "Kublai ordered the then famous
painter Zhao Mengfu to show Marco Polo and his party the high skills of Chinese painting.”
"At that time, Marco Polo happened to have a lady-in-waiting by his side, named Mona Lisa!”
"Mr. Zhao Mengfu created this painting with this maid as his model!”
"The whole creation took half a year, from the summer of 1275, until the winter of 1275, when it was given a
final stroke.”
Speaking of this, Ervin could not help but sigh:
"At that time, Kublai gave this painting to Marco Polo, who really treasured it and kept it with him,”
"Knowing that he would take it back to the West. Unfortunately,”
"Marco Polo went to prison after returning to the West because of the turmoil, and the painting was lost in
the turmoil.”
"Two hundred years later, the painting passed into the hands of Leonardo da Vinci, who was inspired by it”
"And imitated it day and night for more than ten years before creating the version of the Mona Lisa known to
the world!”
"And after his painting was completed, he gave this Mona Lisa made by Zhao Mengfu to his subordinate to
burn it.”
"His subordinate could not bear to see such a masterpiece fall,”
"So he quietly gave it to his own relatives, which allowed this painting to be passed down!”
Speaking of this, Ervin looked at Bernard and seriously asked, “Mr. Elnor, now you understand, right?”
