Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work The Battle Of The Sea Gods: Left Half (B. 18; H. 5; M. 79; L./O./S. 75) by Andrea Mantegna was worth GBP 11,250.00 (€ 13,447.64) to a buyer in September 2013. This price was achieved in the auction Prints & Multiples – Old Master, Modern & Contemporary at Sothebys in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 3,000.00 many times over. 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).
