A top price for Jean-Baptiste Homann
This artwork by Jean-Baptiste Homann achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in September 2010. In the Lehman Brothers: Artwork and Ephemera auction, the work The Four Continents: Totius Americae Septentrion Alis et Meridionalis; Asiae Recentissima Delineatio; Totius Africae Nova Repraesentatio; and Europa Christiani Orbis Domina sold for GBP 3,500.00 (€ 4,048.12) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,500.00. This high result makes The Four Continents: Totius Americae Septentrion Alis et Meridionalis; Asiae Recentissima Delineatio; Totius Africae Nova Repraesentatio; and Europa Christiani Orbis Domina the most expensive artwork by Jean-Baptiste Homann that we have observed at auctions so far.
