I'm going to be less active here going forward, moving to instagram. This site is utterly unusable with the algorithm promoting politics and conflict nonstop, regardless of user preferences or followers.

Nice to see a bunch of medieval lots at Sothebyโs day 2 sale. The sale has everything from sculptures to a few miniatures. Will be an interesting barometer for the market. A few thoughts:
- Iโm not a fan of most of the stuff being sold from the โConnecticut collectionโ, at least not at these estimates.
- Major auction houses have just not had a lot of supply in the last year or two of medieval stuff. So it becomes harder to gauge where the mid level market is at for medieval art.
- This auction will have a good number of lots pass. Which will show what the market wants and in which areas estimations may be too high.
- interesting assortment of provenances from museum deaccession, a US Ambassador, and WW2 Restitution

Flemish pre-Eyckian apocalypse. @laBnF Nรฉerlandais 3, f. 7r.
I haven't done a ton of research, and could well be wrong (feel free to dunk on me if so), but there is a red flag here in my opinionโณ๏ธ. This painting is supposed to be by the hand of Colijn de Coter and workshop, based on Nicodemus from Rogier's Prado Descent. Yet not only is the face of Nicodemus copied, Saint Luke here is shown flooded with tears while in a completely different scene - drawing the virgin, which is not a tragic or sad scene. I am skeptical that this painting is anything more than a pastiche by a follower who didn't know much about what they were copying.
