A top price for Stefano Magnasco - as previously expected

The work An Allegory Of The Arts; An Allegory Of Music by Stefano Magnasco was sold in the Including Three Renaissance Masterworks from Chatsworth auction at Sothebys in London in December 2012. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 50,000.00 – 70,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 51,650.00 (€ 63,698.79) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, An Allegory Of The Arts; An Allegory Of Music is the most expensive artwork by Stefano Magnasco that we have observed at auctions so far.

Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist An Allegory Of The Arts; An Allegory Of Music das teuerste Kunstwerk von Stefano Magnasco, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
