Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2012 Sothebys in London held the auction Including Three Renaissance Masterworks from Chatsworth, which included the work An Extensive Rocky Landscape With The Flight Into Egypt by Herri met de Bles. The price achieved of GBP 361,250.00 (€ 445,521.58) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 300,000.00 – 500,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Herri met de Bles - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A siege at Thérouanne, with an army led by Charles V encamped below the city, which sold at auction in December 2009 for GBP 1,049,250.00 (€ 1,183,590.90).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2012 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Including Three Renaissance Masterworks from Chatsworth durch, in der auch die Arbeit An Extensive Rocky Landscape With The Flight Into Egypt von Herri met de Bles zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 361.250,00 (€ 445.521,58) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 300.000,00 – 500.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Herri met de Bles mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A siege at Thérouanne, with an army led by Charles V encamped below the city beobachtet, die im Dezember 2009 für GBP 1.049.250,00 (€ 1.183.590,90) versteigert wurde.
