Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Triumph of Scipio Africanus: a cassone panel by Apollonio di Giovanni was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2017. The price achieved of GBP 305,000.00 (€ 340,333.16) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 250,000.00 – 350,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Apollonio di Giovanni - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A Battle Before A Walled City, Perhaps The Siege Of Assisi, which sold at auction in January 2008 for USD 1,273,000.00 (€ 857,758.91).
