Vienna Dorotheum – World record for two Renaissance paintings

The buyer of the painting, made around 1490 by the most influential painter of his time, who achieved world fame with his fresco ‘Christ gives Peter the keys’ (1481) in the Sistine Chapel in Rome, is anonymous. Sensational prizes were also won for a “Madonna and Child” by the Baroque painter Artemisia Gentileschi (€585,000), which was rediscovered in recent years, and a red chalk drawing by Rubens from a private collection in Vienna (€156,000).
