WTEWAEL MASTERPIECE ACQUIRED FOR CENTRAAL MUSEUM, UTRECHT

We were privileged to be able to acquire on behalf of the Centraal Museum, in Utrecht, a remarkable Banquet of the Gods by Joachim Wtewael (1566-1638) at Sotheby’s January sale of Old Masters in New York.  A quintessential example of Dutch Mannerist art, this early masterpiece by the Utrecht painter is a wonder of refinement, and was purchased for $6m.
