Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price

When the work The Mystic Marriage of Saint Catherine by Giulio Cesare Procaccini was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2007, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 120,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 524,000.00 (€ 778,260.96). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Giulio Cesare Procaccini; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Judith with the Head of Holofernes sold at auction in January 2024 with the realized price of USD 1,134,000.00 (€ 991,085.47).

Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit The Mystic Marriage of Saint Catherine von Giulio Cesare Procaccini im Juli 2007 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 120.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 524.000,00 (€ 778.260,96) mehr als viermal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Giulio Cesare Procaccini; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Judith with the Head of Holofernes im Januar 2024 mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 1.134.000,00 (€ 991.085,47).
