Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Andrea Mantegna achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in July 2009. In the Christie's Interiors auction, the work The Battle of the Sea Gods (B. 17 & 18; Hind 5 & 6; Martineau 79), engraving with drypoint, circa 1470's, a good impression of this rare and important print, with extensive paper losses, tears and repairs with part of the subject missing, the irregular sh sold for GBP 3,250.00 (€ 3,687.78) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Andrea Mantegna achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Triumph Of Alexandria in January 2020 with an auction result of USD 11,654,000.00 (€ 10,505,724.33).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Andrea Mantegna erzielte im Juli 2009 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Christie's Interiors wurde die Arbeit The Battle of the Sea Gods (B. 17 & 18; Hind 5 & 6; Martineau 79), engraving with drypoint, circa 1470's, a good impression of this rare and important print, with extensive paper losses, tears and repairs with part of the subject missing, the irregular sh für GBP 3.250,00 (€ 3.687,78) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 1.500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Andrea Mantegna erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Triumph Of Alexandria im Januar 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 11.654.000,00 (€ 10.505.724,33).
