Johann Liss (Oldenburg c. 1595/1600-1631 Verona)
The Temptation of Saint Anthony
oil on copper
22 x 19.9 cm.

Artwork auctioned at nine times the upper estimate price

When the work The Temptation of Saint Anthony by Johann Liss was auctioned at Christies in Amsterdam in May 2006, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at - in retrospect quite modest - EUR 50,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than nine times as high at EUR 482,400.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Johann Liss achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Temptation Of Saint Mary Magdalene in July 2019 with an auction result of GBP 5,665,200.00 (€ 6,220,012.94).

Kunstwerk zum Neunfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit The Temptation of Saint Anthony von Johann Liss im Mai 2006 bei Christies in Amsterdam versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – EUR 50.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit EUR 482.400,00 mehr als neunmal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Johann Liss erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Temptation Of Saint Mary Magdalene im Juli 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 5.665.200,00 (€ 6.220.012,94).
