A top price for Claude Gellée - as previously expected
The work A Mediterranean Port At Sunrise With The Embarkation Of Saint Paula For Jerusalem by Claude Gellée was sold in the Old Master & British Paintings Evening Sale auction at Christies in London in December 2013. The price achieved of GBP 4,450,000.00 (€ 5,352,659.84) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 3,000,000.00 – 5,000,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, A Mediterranean Port At Sunrise With The Embarkation Of Saint Paula For Jerusalem is the most expensive artwork by Claude Gellée that we have observed at auctions so far.
