Chapter 19 Rowan Interprets The Painting

Although Lorenzo wasn’t a vain person, seeing everyone admire the painting filled his heart with joy and put a huge smile on his face.

It wasn’t easy acquiring a genuine piece of artwork from Mr. Emerentius, but it’s definitely worth the trouble!

With that in mind, he asked, “The name of this painting is Eagle on a Tree. What do you guys think of it?”

Someone replied, “This painting perfectly encompasses Mr. Emerentius‘ unique art style! It has bright colors, and you can immediately tell it’s an eagle on a tree even though he only used a few strokes!”

Lorenzo nodded. “Most paintings focus too much on the form and end up neglecting the soul,. which results in the paintings feeling empty somehow. Mr. Emerentius‘ paintings contain both form and soul, which is why it’s so hard for anyone to imitate them.”

The crowd nodded in agreement with his statement.

A few more people then took turns sharing their opinions on the painting.

“I think this painting is actually a reflection of Mr. Emerentius‘ mental state,” Rowan said after giving it some thought.

“Oh? What makes you say that?”

Everyone grew curious all of a sudden.

Rowan cleared his throat and explained, “Take a look at this tree. He didn’t use a lot of ink here, but it looks like a shadow. This represents the difficult situation that he was in. Then there’s this eagle. It looks like it’s resting on the tree, but its posture is unnatural. I’m guessing that represents helplessness. Every eagle dreams to soar in the skies, but this one is unable to. That’s why it’s forced to rest on the tree and look helplessly at the sky above. Now here comes the most important part. The red spot on the eagle’s head forms a huge contrast with the grey color theme of the painting. So, what does this mean? Well, I believe it means the eagle refuses to accept its fate and wishes to soar through the clear blue sky. In conclusion, this painting represents Mr. Emerentius‘ feelings when he was at his lowest point in life.”

Everyone fell silent for a brief moment before applauding and cheering in response.

That description is so on point! It’s as though he knows Mr. Emerentius like the back of his hand!

Even Lorenzo couldn’t help but compliment him. “I’m sure Mr. Emerentius would see you as a close friend if he heard that.” He then turned to Harrison. “Hey, Harrison! Your son sure is impressive! He might actually be better than you!”

Harrison let out a hearty chuckle and said proudly, “Haha! I told you he’s going to go far in life! I sure am glad I taught him a lot about art during his childhood!”

He made no attempt to sound humble at all.

As the crowd continued to praise Rowan, even Emrys found himself tempted to applaud along with them.

I didn’t even think about all that deep stuff when I was painting that back then. I’m surprised he managed to come up with all those theories like that!

A smug grin formed on Rowan’s face when he heard the praises from the crowd. He shot Yelena a glance and asked, “What do you make of this painting, Ms. Lynch?”

Rowan had been hostile toward Yelena ever since she walked through that door. He believed that a promiscuous woman like her would not know anything about art, so she wasn’t even worthy of being there.

Rowan deliberately asked her that question to humiliate her in front of everyone. novelbin

Everyone shifted their gaze to Yelena and waited for her reply.

“It’s fine, Ms. Lynch. Just go ahead and share your thoughts on this. We’re all here to appreciate art, after all,” Lorenzo encouraged her.

Yelena nodded and said, “I’m a huge fan of Mr. Emerentius, so I am thrilled to see this painting. This painting really does reflect Mr. Emerentius‘ art style perfectly-”

“Cut the crap and get to the point! Someone has already mentioned his art style earlier, so we don’t need you repeating it again!” Rowan interrupted her.

“Be patient, Rowan! Let Ms. Lynch finish!” Lorenzo said.

Rowan’s excellent performance earlier had left a strong impression on Lorenzo. In fact, he liked Rowan so much that he addressed him by his first name.

He didn’t even reprimand Rowan for rudely interrupting Yelena just now.
