10 Old Masters That Changed The Art Market. #9: A world record for a work on paper. .
In 1508, Raphael was commissioned to redecorate the Stanza della Segnatura, Pope Julius II’s personal library and office at the Vatican.
.
Next door, Michelangelo was beginning work on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Eager to also make his mark on the Holy See, Raphael designed 4 monumental schemes that are now considered, collectively, his masterpiece.
.
In 2009, we sold a sketch by Raphael that makes up part of the scheme. The drawing, one of the best of Raphael’s surviving sketches, caused a furore when it arrived in London for auction. .
The opportunity to own such a rare piece of art history was too much for two bidders to pass up. They fought it out until the gavel fell at a monumental £29 million – setting a world record for a work on paper and cementing Raphael’s place as the master of the High Renaissance.
.
Raffaello Sanzio, called Raphael (1483–1520), ‘Head of a Muse’, c. 1510. Sold for: £29,161,250 on 8 December 2009 at Christie’s London.
