Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work A view of the Castel Sant'Angelo, Rome, from the south; A ruined section of the walls of Rome; A capriccio of Roman monuments, figures seated on a fallen column in the foreground; and An extensive landscape with fortified buildings among trees by Giovanni Battista Busiri was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2002. It achieved a price of GBP 940.00 (€ 1,442.95), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 18%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Giovanni Battista Busiri achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Six Roman Views: The Colosseum; The Temple Of Vesta At Tivoli; The Waterfalls At Tivoli; The Pyramid Of Caius Cestius; The Temple Of Vesta In Rome; The Tomb Of Caecilia Metella in December 2014 with an auction result of GBP 41,250.00 (€ 53,102.43).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit A view of the Castel Sant'Angelo, Rome, from the south; A ruined section of the walls of Rome; A capriccio of Roman monuments, figures seated on a fallen column in the foreground; and An extensive landscape with fortified buildings among trees von Giovanni Battista Busiri kam im Dezember 2002 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 940,00 (€ 1.442,95) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 18%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Giovanni Battista Busiri erzielen.
