Chapter 60 The curator is dumbfounded
Compared with the restlessness of the audience at the scene.
The countless audiences around the world who watched this incident were already stunned.
They were all shocked, and all felt appalling.
"What?? Really??"
"Is this a joke???"
"Is there really a second Mona Lisa smile in this world?"
"Fuck, the second Mona Lisa smile was born???"
"Hate!! Hateful!! Why didn't I pick up this painting!"
"If you don't understand, just ask, how much is this second painting worth?"
"How much is it worth? When you say that, you're insulting the Mona Lisa."
And when the world is shaking.
The curator of the Louvre was the most shocked person.
He looked at these experts with incredible eyes, and couldn't help asking: "Everyone, don't make such a joke, you must be responsible for what you say."
Everyone naturally knew that they were responsible for every word and deed, and it was precisely because of this that they would admit that this painting was real.
Kristol looked at the curator with helpless eyes and said, "Mr. Curator, the reason why I want to see the Mona Lisa in the Louvre is to make a final comparison, but you It is not convenient for exhibitions here, so I can only save this last step, based on what I have seen so far, this painting is definitely the Mona Lisa painted by Leonardo da Vinci."
After he finished speaking, the curator's face became tangled, and he still didn't want to show the Mona Lisa's smile.
It's not that he is stingy, but this painting was stolen once that year.
In this case, if there is any mistake in this painting, I will definitely not be able to get away with it.
"Invite the next group of appraisal experts!" After thinking for a while, the curator made a decision.
The first batch of experts didn't say anything, they walked off the stage one by one and gave up their seats to the second batch of experts.
I have to praise Father Zhao here.
When he was contemplating this matter, he thought about the situation of Gaul's denial, so he specially invited well-known top appraisers from various countries around the world.
The appraisers come from different countries, and I did not disclose the list in advance. Under this circumstance, these appraisers will not be bribed, let alone give false testimony.
Not much gossip.
After the second batch of experts came onto the stage, the audience also consciously held their breath, looking at the stage with piercing eyes.
With the words of the first group of experts, the second group of experts put away their previous arrogance and carelessness.
Everyone appears very professional.
The appraisal of this painting was also very serious, various instruments, various professional techniques, and even a few experts took out a lot of documents, and then judged according to the things recorded in the documents.
After a round of appreciation, a full hour has passed.
Under this second round of appreciation, the curator is the most impatient.
He really wanted to hear the word fake from these experts.
But things backfired. Under his expectant eyes, the experts in the second round also released their appraisal reports.
"Authentic!"
"Authentic!"
"Authentic!"
Ten experts, none of them questioned, everyone admitted that this is the Mona Lisa painted by Leonardo da Vinci himself, and each expert gave the reason, not just a word of authenticity, but Tell everyone in detail, which details I have used to determine that this painting is genuine.
In this way, after the second round of experts gave a unified answer, the curator's heart was already aroused.
He wanted to say something, but couldn't utter a word.
Soon, the third round of experts took the stage.
Like the second-round experts, they give full play to their talents.
After waiting for more than an hour, the last batch of experts also gave the same answer as the previous two batches of experts.
"Authentic!!!"
The unified answers of more than 40 top global experts fell, and the audience who paid attention to this matter all over the world was completely excited.
You know, they took today's appraisal meeting as a joke before.
But now it was only a few hours later that they realized that the clown was actually themselves.
under this phenomenon.
The curator stood there in a daze, and it took him quite a while before he recovered.
The first time he recovered, the curator made a decision that went against his ancestors.
"Take out the Mona Lisa's smile stored in our library, and let the experts compare it again."
As soon as this decision came out, the audience was in an uproar.
And the experts are getting excited.
As the treasure of the Louvre Museum, the world's top famous painting, it is impossible for top experts like them to appreciate this world famous painting up close.
But now they can not only watch it up close, but also watch two identical paintings at the same time, how can they not be excited?
With excited and expectant eyes, half an hour later, the Mona Lisa, the treasure of the Louvre Museum, was lifted up.
Surprisingly, after the treasure of the town hall was taken out, the Mona Lisa, which was hung in the Louvre for exhibition, was not taken off.
The appearance of this scene made the audience puzzled.
"Wait, this is the treasure of the town hall, so what is the Mona Lisa hanging on the wall now?"
One stone stirred up a thousand layers of waves, and as soon as this sentence came out, the rest of the audience couldn't help asking.
"That is to say, what we saw before was all fake?"
"I spent tens of euros on tickets to see a fake painting?"
"Why are you Louvre so shameless?"
"Let us spend money to see fake paintings? Are you sick?"
The sound of cursing and complaining continued.
Listening to the voice, the curator explained impatiently.
"Because the painting of Mona Lisa needs regular maintenance. During the maintenance period, we will replace it with a fake one. After the maintenance is over, we will put it back. I hope everyone will understand."
This sentence is full of loopholes, but now everyone's thoughts are on the appraisal meeting, so no one is taking the rhythm.
Compared with the complaints of the audience, the experts know it well.
What nonsense maintenance, isn't it just for fear of being stolen, so the fakes are displayed and the real ones are stored.
But they will not be too troublesome, one by one looked at the treasure of the Louvre Museum with great excitement.
In about half an hour, the experts finished watching the treasures of the Louvre Museum.
After reading it, they looked back at Lin Mo's hand-painted Mona Lisa.
Another half hour later.
Everyone looked back reluctantly.
The curator also started asking questions at this time.
"Everyone, do you see anything?"
All the experts were silent about this question, and none of them answered in a hurry.
After a few minutes, Kristol spoke first.
"After comparing the two paintings, I found two differences."
As soon as these words came out, the curator was ecstatic, and hurriedly came to him, and hurriedly said: "I'll just talk about those two places?"
The curator lost his composure, what he just blurted out was.
"Let me just say this painting is fake."
But when the words came to his lips, he saw countless reporters and cameras, and finally forcibly changed his words. "
Kristol didn't think too much, he pointed to Lin Mo's painting and started talking.
"The first difference is that although the two paintings are almost identical, if you look carefully, you will find that there are still subtle differences between the two paintings. The main difference lies in the lines."
"The second difference is that the Mona Lisa in the Louvre gives people a very new feeling both in terms of color and the overall frame. On the other hand, this painting gives people an old feeling, especially in the paint. This piece, there are some traces of fading in some details."
When Kristol finished speaking, the curator said without even thinking about it.
"I just said that this painting is fake. How can there be two Da Vinci's Mona Lisa in this world?"
After saying this, the curator seemed to be elated, and his mood improved a lot.
But just after he finished speaking, Kristol frowned and interrupted.
"No no no!!!"
"Mr. Curator, I didn't say it was fake."
"You are wrong. Because of these two differences, I am even more sure that this painting is the second Mona Lisa painted by Da Vinci!"
After the words fell, the curator was dumbfounded, and stared blankly at Kristol.
The audience at the scene also looked at him with puzzled faces.
On the other hand, the experts nodded their heads one by one, as if approving what Kristol said!
