The Auction Week began with high demand for Dutch paintings during the Old Masters auction at Dorotheum, as did the all-time favorite Italian painters. In a full auction hall on April 24, 2018, the catalog cover lot, a still life by Balthasar van der Ast, was auctioned for 369,000 euros.
A landscape by Pieter Brueghel I and a multi-figured carnival scene by David Vinckboons highly exceeded expectations with sales prices of 344,600 and 295,800 euros.
Among the Italian paintings, the allegory of Fame of Giovanni Francesco Romanelli earned a hammer price of 222,600 euros.
