Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Giovanni Antonio Canal achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in July last year. In the Master Works on Paper from Five Centuries auction, the work Capriccio: a courtyard with a double-arched portico surmounted by an elaborate pediment sold for GBP 403,200.00 (€ 481,492.41) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 200,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Giovanni Antonio Canal achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Bucintoro At The Molo, Venice, On Ascension Day in July 2005 with an auction result of GBP 11,432,000.00 (€ 16,582,008.08).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Giovanni Antonio Canal erzielte im Juli letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Master Works on Paper from Five Centuries wurde die Arbeit Capriccio: a courtyard with a double-arched portico surmounted by an elaborate pediment für GBP 403.200,00 (€ 481.492,41) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 200.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Giovanni Antonio Canal erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Bucintoro At The Molo, Venice, On Ascension Day im Juli 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 11.432.000,00 (€ 16.582.008,08).
