This artwork by Godfried Maes achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in April 2002. In the The Dr Anton C.R.Dreesmann Collection Old Master Pictures auction, the work The Creation of Land and Sea; The Creation of Man; The Flood; and Deucalion and Pyrrha repopulating the earth: Illustrations for the Metamorphoses of Ovid sold for GBP 9,400.00 (€ 15,208.95) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 5,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Godfried Maes - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Four Continents: America, Africa, Europe And Asia, which sold at auction in April 2015 for GBP 40,000.00 (€ 54,929.22).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Godfried Maes erzielte im April 2002 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion The Dr Anton C.R.Dreesmann Collection Old Master Pictures wurde die Arbeit The Creation of Land and Sea; The Creation of Man; The Flood; and Deucalion and Pyrrha repopulating the earth: Illustrations for the Metamorphoses of Ovid für GBP 9.400,00 (€ 15.208,95) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 5.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Godfried Maes mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Four Continents: America, Africa, Europe And Asia beobachtet, die im April 2015 für GBP 40.000,00 (€ 54.929,22) versteigert wurde.
