Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In December 2021 Christies in London held the auction Old Masters Evening Sale, which included the work The Massacre of the Innocents with the Adoration of the Shepherds and the Adoration of the Magi - panel from a predella by Luca Signorelli. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 120,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 125,000.00 (€ 149,098.78). Admittedly, works by Luca Signorelli have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work A Processional Banner: The Presentation In The Temple in January 2012 with an auction result of USD 818,500.00 (€ 627,058.91).
