A top price for Bernardino Luini - as previously expected
In July 2007 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Master Paintings Evening, which included the work Saint Sebastian by Bernardino Luini. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 400,000.00 – 600,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 423,200.00 (€ 628,549.69) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Saint Sebastian is the most expensive artwork by Bernardino Luini that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Juli 2007 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Old Master Paintings Evening durch, in der auch die Arbeit Saint Sebastian von Bernardino Luini zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 400.000,00 – 600.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 423.200,00 (€ 628.549,69) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Saint Sebastian das teuerste Kunstwerk von Bernardino Luini, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
