Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Michele Rocca achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in December 2014. In the Old Master & British Paintings Day Sale auction, the work Bacchus And Ariadne; And Daphnis And Chloe sold for GBP 32,500.00 (€ 41,838.28) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 15,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Michele Rocca; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Rinaldo and Armida sold at auction in May 2003 with the realized price of EUR 66,920.00.
