This artwork by Jakob Philipp Hackert achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in December 2019. In the Old Masters Day Sale auction, the work Italianate Landscape With Mercury, Argus And Io; Italianate Landscape With Banditti Conversing sold for GBP 118,750.00 (€ 140,348.60) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 50,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jakob Philipp Hackert - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Port of Salerno from Vietri, with herdsmen and other figures in the foreground, with the Castello di Arechi beyond and shipping vessels in the bay, which sold at auction in July 2015 for GBP 338,500.00 (€ 479,879.31).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Jakob Philipp Hackert erzielte im Dezember 2019 bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Masters Day Sale wurde die Arbeit Italianate Landscape With Mercury, Argus And Io; Italianate Landscape With Banditti Conversing für GBP 118.750,00 (€ 140.348,60) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 50.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Jakob Philipp Hackert mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Port of Salerno from Vietri, with herdsmen and other figures in the foreground, with the Castello di Arechi beyond and shipping vessels in the bay beobachtet, die im Juli 2015 für GBP 338.500,00 (€ 479.879,31) versteigert wurde.
