The most expensive painting in China ranks first, and the most expensive painting in China

Among the 10 most expensive painters in the world, China accounts for half of them! The collection value of Chinese paintings is the first in the world.

When it comes to sky-high collectibles, I wonder what comes to mind? In my impression, what can be called sky-high prices is either antique treasures or masterpieces (generally the heirlooms of deceased masters). In the international art rankings in recent years, the names of Chinese painters have continued to appear in the top 10 ranks of the sky-high price list, such as Qi Baishi, Zhang Daqian, Fu Baoshi, Pan Tianshou, Li Keran, and contemporary painter Cui Ruzhuo.

In a report on the art market released by an internationally renowned art research and promotion organization, it is very exciting that half of the top 10 artists with the highest turnover in the annual auction turnover list are Chinese painters.

Appreciation

In this "Pine and Cypress High Standing Map", the inscription is: pine branches weeping and weeping grass, cypress trees high and faint clouds. The scenery is good every day, and the eagle hunts eight thousand springs.

Eighty-six-year-old Qi Huang. The protagonist is a goshawk standing on a pine branch, proudly independent, with its main and tail feathers highlighted in thick and burnt ink, with strong wings gathered and powerful talons grasping the trunk. The eagle's beak and eyes are outlined with burnt ink, and the goshawk's eyes are like torches, blazing.

The eagle stands sideways, its head twisted slightly, full of energy, looking at the vast earth, moving in stillness, highlighting the sense of power of the image. Compared with the small note of "extremely dense horizontal dots on the claws" in Baishi's paintings, it can be seen that Qi Baishi's meticulous observation of life and the reality of the details of the depiction of the image**. A pine and a cypress are painted on the screen.

The pine tree is in front, painted in light ink, the branches stand upright and oblique to the right, and then insert obliquely from the top, and the pine needles are written in thick ink, which shows the power of the brush; The cypress tree is behind, the ink color is thicker, and the posture is more curvy. "Pine and cypress" implicitly coincides with longevity, but the unique style of the painting that stands tall and proud, has long jumped out of the exact function of "birthday celebration", but with the metaphor of "evergreen foundation", it has become the expectation of a beautiful vision of spring after war and dead wood.

The picture is magnificent, with the metaphor of pine and cypress encircling the Ying. The matching seal script four-word couplet is rich and natural, dignified and atmospheric, and the literary meaning is excellent, which can be called the masterpiece of Qi Baishi's calligraphy and painting.

2. "The Last Supper": The mural "The Last Supper" is a world-famous painting created by Leonardo da Vinci, the great Florentine native of Italy. It is one of Leonardo da Vinci's masterpieces, along with the famous Mona Lisa, and perhaps the Last Supper has achieved even greater fame.

The most expensive painting is: "Savior Mundien": $100 million.

This painting is a painting created by the famous Italian Renaissance painter Leonardo da Vinci.

On the evening of November 15, 2017, New York time, Leonardo da Vinci's "Salvator Mundi", the only saleable work, was sold for $400 million, with a commission price of 100 million US dollars (about 100 million yuan)** at Christie's in New York, becoming the most expensive artwork in history, and the whole auction process lasted only 20 minutes.

Salimator Mundi is a painting created by the famous Italian Renaissance painter Leonardo da Vinci. The painting was completed around 1500, coinciding with the time when the Mona Lisa was created.

Salvator Mundi first belonged to King Charles I of England and passed into the hands of Charles II when he succeeded to the throne, who then passed it to the Duke of Buckingham, whose son sold it in 1763. After that, the painting was not traced for a time, and it was not until 1900 that the trace of the oil painting reappeared.

Over the past 500 years, the painting has been repainted many times, and at one point the original painting was covered in thick oil paint. In 1958, "Salvator Mundi" sold for £45 at a penitential auction in the United Kingdom. In 2005, an American buyer bought it as a knockoff for $10,000**.

After 6 years of cleaning and authentication, the painting was confirmed to be genuine.
