A top price for The Mezzana Master - as previously expected
In December 2006 Christies in London held the auction Important Old Master Pictures Evening Sale, which included the work A portable triptych: the central panel: The Madonna and Child with Saint Louis of Toulouse and Saint Francis of Assisi; left wing: The Crucifixion with the Virgin and Saint John the Evangelist below the Angel of the Annunciation; right wing: The Mado by The Mezzana Master. The price achieved of GBP 232,000.00 (€ 344,317.04) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 200,000.00 – 300,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, A portable triptych: the central panel: The Madonna and Child with Saint Louis of Toulouse and Saint Francis of Assisi; left wing: The Crucifixion with the Virgin and Saint John the Evangelist below the Angel of the Annunciation; right wing: The Mado is the most expensive artwork by The Mezzana Master that we have observed at auctions so far.

Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist A portable triptych: the central panel: The Madonna and Child with Saint Louis of Toulouse and Saint Francis of Assisi; left wing: The Crucifixion with the Virgin and Saint John the Evangelist below the Angel of the Annunciation; right wing: The Mado das teuerste Kunstwerk von The Mezzana Master
