This artwork by Jakob Philipp Hackert achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in December 2017. In the Old Masters Evening Sale auction, the work Vesuvius, 12 January 1774 sold for GBP 156,250.00 (€ 175,836.49) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 80,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jakob Philipp Hackert - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Port of Salerno from Vietri, with herdsmen and other figures in the foreground, with the Castello di Arechi beyond and shipping vessels in the bay, which sold at auction in July 2015 for GBP 338,500.00 (€ 479,879.31).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Jakob Philipp Hackert erzielte im Dezember 2017 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Masters Evening Sale wurde die Arbeit Vesuvius, 12 January 1774 für GBP 156.250,00 (€ 175.836,49) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 80.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Jakob Philipp Hackert mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Port of Salerno from Vietri, with herdsmen and other figures in the foreground, with the Castello di Arechi beyond and shipping vessels in the bay beobachtet, die im Juli 2015 für GBP 338.500,00 (€ 479.879,31) versteigert wurde.
