Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

When the work An Italianate Landscape With Figures Before A Ruined Classical Building by Bartholomeus Breenbergh was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2014, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 10,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 33,750.00 (€ 43,447.44). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Bartholomeus Breenbergh - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A Classical Landscape With Mercury And Argos, which sold at auction in July 2001 for GBP 102,750.00 (€ 167,320.96).

Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit An Italianate Landscape With Figures Before A Ruined Classical Building von Bartholomeus Breenbergh im Dezember 2014 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 10.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 33.750,00 (€ 43.447,44) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Bartholomeus Breenbergh mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A Classical Landscape With Mercury And Argos beobachtet, die im Juli 2001 für GBP 102.750,00 (€ 167.320,96) versteigert wurde.
