The architectural style of the medieval cla.s.sical architectural style. It also incorporates the style of the English country garden. It emphasizes the matching of flowers and green plants, matches the natural scenery, and integrates the architecture, culture and background of different eras to form the mainstream.The two architectural styles complement each other perfectly, combining luxury, aesthetics and pastural elements.
The feeling for Chen Rui is that there is the luxury of the British court building, the beauty of a beautiful villa style painting, the natural pastur that is close to nature, breathes fresh air, and smells the aroma of the earth.
After visiting the manor, let Chen Rui envy.
If you can live in this place for a lifetime, life is perfect.
"Mr. Chen, this is the collection room of my family. Since the establishment of this collection room, over 400 years ago, it has collected more than 2,000 artworks from various countries and countries of the world, and there are furniture and decorations that have been pa.s.sed down from the Middle Ages. Paintings, sculptures, coins, etc. Among them, there are four works by Pica.s.so, Andrew Wise and Monet. In addition, there are ancient Chinese ceramics, bronzes, Egyptian gold artwork, j.a.panese lacquerware, etc. With Chen Rui came to the collection room of the manor, he turned to Chen Rui.
There is some pride in the tone of Earl Hill.
Chen Rui nodded.
Chen Rui understands the pride of Earl Hill.
Westerners have a special pursuit of art and are regarded as a symbol of dignity, taste, and wealth.
A simple example, for example, in Europe, when it comes to famous manor, first of all, it will mention the art collections in the manor, the quant.i.ty, the quality, which will greatly enhance the reputation of the manor.
If you collect a few masterpieces from Western famous artists such as Pica.s.so, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Monet, people all over Europe will remember this manor.
Next, Chen Rui visited his collection under the leadership of Earl Hill.
The collection room is large in size and is built on underground and opened up into a huge bas.e.m.e.nt.
The bas.e.m.e.nt is made up of smooth rock.
The bas.e.m.e.nt maintains a dry environment for a long time, and moderate temperature, which is conducive to the long-term preservation of artworks.
The structure of the bas.e.m.e.nt consists of a corridor with many large and small compartments.
Voice-activated sensor lights are installed every ten meters in the corridor, and voice-activated sensors are also installed in each compartment.
When the person walks by, the voice-activated sensor light automatically lights up, and when the person leaves, the voice-activated sensor light automatically goes out.
Each cell stores a category or a country"s artwork, which stores a wide variety of artworks, and the categories are very complete, and the pieces are rare.
There is almost one art exhibition hall in each cell.
"This is a medieval crown."
"This is a gold Sullides, a gold coin originally invented by ancient Rome. At that time, only rich Romans, businessmen or soldiers had this kind of gold. "
This is a painting by Monet. Monet is one of the founders of Impressionist painting. It is the most influential one of Impressionist masters. This painting is called "Water Lily" and is very representative of Monet painting. "
This is a medieval sculpture, very beautiful."
...
Earl Hill introduced Chen Rui to his family"s art collection for more than 400 years.
Appreciate Western paintings, sculptures, coins and other works of art.
One piece of art, the pieces are exquisite and full of art, let Chen Rui feast his eyes.
Next, Chen Rui followed Hill Earl to the next room.
"There is a piece of art from China." Earl Hill turned to Chen Rui.
The grid is very large, and a large amount of Chinese art is stored in the grid.
There are porcelain, bronze, jade, paintings, coins, Buddha statues, etc., even to the pottery and stone tools of the old age, a wide variety, all kinds of categories are complete, exquisite, and the pieces are rare. Fine, see Chen Rui dazzled.
Here, Chen Rui saw Xu Beihong"s horse, Qi Baishi"s shrimp.
Suddenly, Chen Rui stopped in front of a porcelain.
Seeing Chen Rui"s footsteps in front of a porcelain, Earl Hill introduced, "This is a Ge Kiln Porcelain. In 1993, this Ge Kiln Porcelain appeared at Christie"s Auction. I shot with 890,000 pounds."
Chen Rui nodded.
As an antique fan, how can you not know the kiln porcelain?
One of the five famous kiln in China, in the aesthetics of ancient literati, pursued a morbid defect beauty, and formed a crack between the yellow and black of the "gold wire" during the firing process of the kiln. This strange defect became people highly sought after element.
There are hundreds of pieces of kiln porcelain in the world. There are 190 pieces in the National Palace Museum and the Northern Palace Museum. There are dozens of items in the North and Beijing Imperial Palaces, and there are even fewer that are circulating outside.
I didn"t expect to see a fine kiln porcelain here, and I was very fortunate to be able to appreciate it at close range.
"This is..." Chen Rui suddenly saw two items, and suddenly shocked him.
These are the two bronze beasts head.
One is a snake head and the other is a sheep"s head.
The caster is fine, and the nuances such as folds and fluff on the animal"s head are clear and vivid, and extremely expressive.
This is the python and the sheep head of the Zodiac of the Yuanming Yuan.
When you mention the 12 animal head of Zodiac in Yuanming Yuan, you have to mention the Yuanming Yuan.
This is the pain of all Chinese.
In 1860, the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China, the British and French Allied Forces burned the Yuanming Yuan or know in english as Old Summer Palace, and the number of cultural relics plundered was roughly 1.5 million. From the bronze rituals of the pre-Qin Dynasty to the celebrity paintings of the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. All kinds of rare treasures, including the Yuanming Yuan Zodiac animal head.
Nowadays, five bronze beasts of cow, tigers, monkeys, pigs and horses have been collected at the Beijing Art Museum.
Rats and rabbits are collected in the National Museum of China.
The dragon head is in Taiwan and is well preserved.
Finally, four pieces of snake head, sheep head, chicken head, and dog head are still missing.
Chen Rui did not expect that two of the remaining four pieces would appear here.
Chen Rui made up his mind and wanted to buy it.
