In July last year Christies in London held the auction Old Masters Evening Sale, which included the work A capriccio of partially ruined baths with people swimming; and A capriccio of Rome with the Colusseum and Arch of Titus by Antonio Joli. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 922,500.00 (€ 1,101,628.85), 54% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Antonio Joli - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A Capriccio With The French Ambassador Approaching The King Of Siam’S Palace In A State Barge, In October 1685, Featuring The White Porcelain Pagoda, From Nanjing, China, On The Left, which sold at auction in October last year for USD 3,300,000.00 (€ 3,321,924.70).

Im Juli letzten Jahres führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Masters Evening Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit A capriccio of partially ruined baths with people swimming; and A capriccio of Rome with the Colusseum and Arch of Titus von Antonio Joli zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 922.500,00 (€ 1.101.628,85) und damit 54% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Antonio Joli mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A Capriccio With The French Ambassador Approaching The King Of Siam’S Palace In A State Barge, In October 1685, Featuring The White Porcelain Pagoda, From Nanjing, China, On The Left beobachtet, die im Oktober letzten Jahres für USD 3.300.000,00 (€ 3.321.924,70) versteigert wurde.
