A top price for Bartolomé Esteban Murillo

When the work Christ the Man of Sorrows by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2005, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 700,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 2,472,000.00 (€ 3,587,969.60). This high result makes Christ the Man of Sorrows the most expensive artwork by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis für Bartolomé Esteban Murillo

Als die Arbeit Christ the Man of Sorrows von Bartolomé Esteban Murillo im Dezember 2005 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 700.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 2.472.000,00 (€ 3.587.969,60) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Christ the Man of Sorrows zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
