A top price for Jan Baptist van der Meiren
In April 2005 Christies in London held the auction Old Master Pictures, which included the work A capriccio of a Mediterranean port scene with a four-master, a town and mountains beyond; and A Mediterranean coastal landscape with merchants and herdsmen with a capriccio of a port and a mountain beyond by Jan Baptist van der Meiren. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 26,400.00 (€ 39,075.84), 32% above the upper estimate. With this result, A capriccio of a Mediterranean port scene with a four-master, a town and mountains beyond; and A Mediterranean coastal landscape with merchants and herdsmen with a capriccio of a port and a mountain beyond is even the most expensive work of art by Jan Baptist van der Meiren that we have observed at auctions so far.

Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 26.400,00 (€ 39.075,84) und damit 32% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Mit diesem Ergebnis ist A capriccio of a Mediterranean port scene with a four-master, a town and mountains beyond; and A Mediterranean coastal landscape with merchants and herdsmen with a capriccio of a port and a mountain beyond sogar das teuerste Kunstwerk von Jan Baptist van der Meiren, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
