A top price for The Master Of Marradi - as previously expected
In July 2002 Christies in London held the auction Important Old Master Pictures, which included the work The Meeting of Christ and Saint John the Baptist by the River Jordan; the reverse painted as a circular trompe l'oeil door panel by The Master Of Marradi. The price achieved of GBP 47,800.00 (€ 76,242.85) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 40,000.00 – 60,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, The Meeting of Christ and Saint John the Baptist by the River Jordan; the reverse painted as a circular trompe l'oeil door panel is the most expensive artwork by The Master Of Marradi that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Juli 2002 führte Christies in London die Auktion Important Old Master Pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Meeting of Christ and Saint John the Baptist by the River Jordan; the reverse painted as a circular trompe l'oeil door panel von The Master Of Marradi zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 47.800,00 (€ 76.242,85) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist The Meeting of Christ and Saint John the Baptist by the River Jordan; the reverse painted as a circular trompe l'oeil door panel das teuerste Kunstwerk von The Master Of Marradi, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
