Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Giovanni di ser Giovanni Guidi achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in June 2007. In the Important Old Master Paintings and European Works of Art Including Property of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery auction, the work The Reduction Of Alba Longa By Tullus Hostilius sold for USD 540,000.00 (€ 399,408.28) - well above the upper estimate of USD 200,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Giovanni di ser Giovanni Guidi - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Story of Coriolanus: a cassone front, which sold at auction in January 2024 for USD 1,562,500.00 (€ 1,365,582.94).
