A top price for Giovanni Baglione
When the work Saint John The Baptist In The Wilderness by Giovanni Baglione was auctioned at Sothebys in London in December 2012, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 80,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 313,250.00 (€ 386,324.25). This high result makes Saint John The Baptist In The Wilderness the most expensive artwork by Giovanni Baglione that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Giovanni Baglione
Als die Arbeit Saint John The Baptist In The Wilderness von Giovanni Baglione im Dezember 2012 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 80.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 313.250,00 (€ 386.324,25) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Saint John The Baptist In The Wilderness zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Giovanni Baglione, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
