Christie's Presents Classic Week Highlights In London
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM - JUNE 26, 2025: Art handlers look at a painting by Giovanni Antonio Canal, called Il Canaletto, titled ''Venice, the Return of the Bucintoro on Ascension Day'', circa 1732, (estimate on request; in excess of GBP20 million), originally owned by Britain's First Prime Minister, Sir Robert Walpole, and hung at 10 Downing Street, during a photocall at Christie's auction house in London, United Kingdom on June 26, 2025. The masterpiece will lead Christie's Old Masters Evening Sale in London on 1 July 2025, having only appeared at auction twice in its 300-year history, in 1751 and 1993.
