Upper estimate price exceeded by 46 %.
The work The Battle of the Sea Gods (Bartsch 17 & 18; Hind 5 & 6; Martineau 79) by Andrea Mantegna was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2010. It achieved a price of GBP 8,750.00 (€ 10,149.97), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 46%. 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).
