Counterfeit Identification Of The Item "Autumn Forest By Ni Zan" In 2015 Beijing Zhonghongxin Autumn Auction

In 2015,Beijing Zhonghongxin Autumn auction item "Ni Zan’s Qiu Lin Tu" was mentioned in Pei Jingfu’s "Zhuang Taoge Calligraphy and Painting Record",and later generations thought that the painting was an authentic work of Ni Zan,and finally sold for 9.08 million yuan.However,after reviewing the literature and recording materials,the author found that there were traces of faking in the composition characteristics,tree and stone painting and discerning characteristics of the auction item "Qiu Lin Tu" by Ni Zan.Therefore,this paper will take the style characteristics and painting habits of Ni Zan’s paintings as the appraisal standard,and identify the obvious fake key of the auction item "Ni Zan’s Qiu Lin Tu",thus revealing that this painting is a fake.Its counterfeiting traces are mainly manifested as that the painting near the slope is not the shape of "stone bed flat slope",the stream is painted on it,and the middle scene is painted ting Zhu;The painting style of trees,slope stones and moss dots is quite different from That of Ni Zan.The writing characteristics of "Knowledge" are quite different from that of Ni Zan.Therefore,this paper will use literature research method,stylistic research method,graphic and text mutual testimony,comparative analysis method,chart analysis method to re-evaluate the above content.First,it is the identification of composition characteristics.The painting style of ni Zan’s "Qiu Lin Tu" belongs to the period of Ni Zan’s "Shi Bing Ping Po Yao Xiu style"(1345-1360)landscape painting.Ni Zan once said that "the mountains are green and the lake is jade".Relevant scholars have also made important discussions on Ni Zan’s "broad and far" landscape painting.Therefore,the shape of the nearby potuo and the stream on the potuo of the auction item "Qiu Lin Tu" by Ni Zan is different from that of "Stone bed flat slope" by Ni Zan.The mid-shot painting of Ting Zhu and the miscellaneous trees on it are contrary to the early mid-shot painting of Ni Zan with a lake,which is not as good as other characteristics.Distant hills and Remote hills are different from ni Zan’s originals.Second,it is the identification of the ink style of the painting itself.Ni Zan painted pine and cypress trees.The tree trunks are long and vigorous,and the branches with "crab claws" and "antlers" are often painted.However,the trees in ni Zan’s "Autumn Forest" look like "miscellaneous trees".The trunk is soft and weak with the brush,the branches are scattered and confused,and there is no specific painting method at all.Unlike the "claw-shaped" branches in Ni Zan’s painting,the meaning of the autumn forest is not shown in the picture.In terms of slope stone,the shape of the near slope stone in this painting is loose,not the shape of "stone bed flat slope",the structure is messy,and it does not show the trend of "folding cake".The brushstrokes are poor,and the texturing method is not only different from ni Zan’s early changpima,but also contrary to the gradual formation of the personal characteristics of chapped belt Cun.As for the moss spots,Ni Zan mostly scattered the moss on the gully of the slope stone and the cross of the shade side,which was well-proportioned.However,the moss spots in ni Zan’s "Autumn Forest picture" were messy and disorderly,and more on the sunny side,which was not particular about them.Third,it is the identification of the character of knowledge.The auction item "Ni Zan’s Qiu Lin Tu" recognizes the horizontal and flat knot of "Zan",which is different from ni Zan’s usual rectangular knot.In terms of writing style,the horizontal painting of "King" beside "Zan" shows the disease of "bird’s beak",while the vertical painting shows the disease of "loose front".The "23" word on the upper right hand painting appears to fold Angle,straight line,the first long point painting ","unclear,the second long point painting",inflexible stiff.The bottom right "bei" vertical painting "I" line of the pen buckle,folding pen thin weak.The whole character has no firm and vigorous writing power,and no tendency of "releasing the left and suppressing the right",which is different from ni Zan’s writing style of "xiao Kai with scribe meaning".In addition,the "Ni Zan" and "Zan" of ni Zan’s paintings are directly connected with the "postscript content of the picture",while there is a two-character gap between the "Zan" and the "poem on the picture" of Ni Zan’s Autumn Forest,which indicates that the forger does not know the format of Ni Zan’s inscription.The 2015 Beijing Zhonghongxin Autumn auction item "Ni Zan’s Qiu Lin Tu" was identified as a forgery by later generations.
