Chapter 64 The Legendary Master of Counterfeit

20%...

This number shows that Lu Li may know some clues, but he does not understand all of them.

However, it made sense in this way. If he really knew all the secrets of this painting, he should have sold it at the auction house before, and there would be no chance that Lin Chen would leak it later.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen asked, "Mr. Lu, can you tell me the origin of this painting first?"

"Brother Lin, just a fake painting, what's the source of it?" Fang Han asked strangely.

Su Ningyu slapped him on the forehead: "Don't interrupt, let people talk first."

Although Su Ningyu can be 100% sure that this painting must be a fake, it can never be the real "Girl with a Pearl Earring", but since Lin Chen asked, she thought it must have his intentions.

The four of them sat on the sofa, and the "Girl with a Pearl Earring" was placed in front of Lu Li.

He stared at the oil painting and recalled: "Lin Sheng, I have obtained this painting in many auctions and galleries, and let the experts there taste it, but no one is willing to listen to me telling you about this painting. Story, you are still the first."

"It's really our fate to be able to meet you."

With a sigh, Lu Li started to go straight to the subject: "To tell you, this painting was actually given to me by my master before he died. My master is a ghost. When I first met him, he was under the overpass. Draw portraits of people."

"The identity of my master is very mysterious. He never told me his name, but he has a painting skill far beyond ordinary people. The most powerful thing is that no one can see through the fake paintings he painted. When he was still alive, Although he would go to paint under the overpass every day, but at night, he would go to stay in a star-rated hotel. All the money he spent in the hotel was in exchange for his fake paintings."

"I studied with him for ten years, and then he got into a car accident and gave this painting to me before he died."

"I still remember that when the master was dying, he said to me that if I need money in the future, I can sell this painting. He also told me that this painting is so valuable that I must not sell it cheaply. "

When Fang Han heard this, he couldn't hold back, and said, "Did he get confused before he died? How could a fake painting be worthless?"

Lu Li nodded: "I have thought about it before. Although this "Girl with a Pearl Earring" has exquisite painting skills and exquisite brushwork, it is very close to Vermeer's original work, but the real "Girl with a Pearl Earring" is clearly whereabouts. No matter how good this painting is, it can only be a fake."

"Although the counterfeit is valuable, it cannot be invaluable. I found many people and they all told me that this painting is only worth a few million at most."

millions?

impossible.Lin Chen shook his head in his heart. He had just roughly calculated that the value of this painting was at least 100 million, and how could it be worth a few million.

However, Lin Chen did not ask, but continued to look at Lu Li, because he didn't seem to finish his words.

"Actually, I already have a guess about the value of this painting, but I am not sure, because once I think wrong, the relic left to me by the master will be destroyed, and I cannot afford this loss. "

Lin Chen asked, "What is your guess?"

"It has something to do with my master." Lu Li explained: "Although my master never told me his name. But his skill is so superb that it is impossible to remain silent, so I have tried him several times. I later found out that my master might be Dutch, he should be in his seventies, and possess superb counterfeiting methods. These clues finally led me to a name: Han Van Miglen..."

"impossible!"

As soon as Lu Li spoke, Su Ningyu stood up suddenly.

Seeing her reaction so huge, Lin Chen couldn't help being curious: "Ningyu, what's wrong with you?"

Su Ningyu looked at Lu Li and said, "Han Van Mieglen is a world-class master of counterfeiting, but he died in 1947. How could it be your master?"

After Su Ningyu's explanation, Lin Chen and the others knew that this Han Van Miglen was the top legendary master of fakes in the history of world oil painting.

His life is comparable to a Hollywood suspense movie.

This counterfeit master is known for forging oil paintings. During World War II, in order to protect the national treasures of the Netherlands, the master Johannes Vermeer forged a large number of Vermeer paintings, and then sold them to the Germans as authentic, including the West Teller.

Because his paintings were so realistic, after World War II, the Dutch authorities thought that he had really sold the national treasure to the enemy, so they prosecuted him for treason. It was not until later that the patriot was wronged.

Lu Li glanced at Su Ningyu and explained: "Miss Su, Han Van Mieglen died in 1947. It is true that he cannot be my master, but Han Van Mieglen has a little My son, Mi Glenn, he also inherited Mi Glenn's talent."

"Mi Glenn? But he is not missing... You mean that your master is him?" Su Ningyu asked in surprise.

"It should be..." Lu Li nodded and said, "Only in this way can I explain why my master not only possesses superb painting skills, but is also so good at fraud."

Lin Chen immediately gave up on hearing this.

The probability that Lu Li’s master is the Xiaomi Glenn is...

100%!

Lin Chen sighed in his heart. He didn't expect that a young man he ran into on the road would have a relationship with a legendary master of counterfeiting.

He sat upright and asked, "Lu Li, if your master is really Xiaomi Glenn, what does it have to do with this painting?"

Lu Li has a solemn face, because what follows will be the most important part of this conversation.

"If my master is really Xiaomi Glenn, then the origin of this oil painting is worth considering. Let me tell you, this painting was always carried with me before my master had an accident, even in a car accident. He threw the painting out before the car hits him. If it was just an ordinary fake, he wouldn't be able to value this oil painting so much."

"The oil painter Vermeer only painted 45 works in his life, but only 35 have been handed down. There is a very important reason, because Master Migren forged a large number of Vermeer's paintings, and many of the original works were lost. It was regarded as a counterfeit. "The Girl with a Pearl Earring" was regarded as an imitation before and was later identified as the authentic Vermeer."

"After the death of the master, I wondered whether Vermeer left only 35 paintings? If it was Migren, who had been in contact with Vermeer's original works, would there be another left in his hand? Those ten works? If there are any, then..."
