A while ago I wrote a post on Turner’s Campo Vaccino, which was estimated to sell between £12 – 18 Million at Sotheby’s London! Well the results are now in!
A top American museum, The Getty Museum in Los Angeles, bought Turner’s Campo Vaccino (Modern Rome) for a record auction price for the artist for £29,7 Million!

This beautiful painting had been on loan to the National Galleries of Scotland and on public view for the past thirty years.
David Moore-Gwyn, deputy chairman of Sotheby’s said the “breathtaking” work showed Turner at his best. He added: “This was a once in a lifetime opportunity to which the world’s collectors responded”.
