Artworks by Alexander von Wagner, Claude Monet, and Paolo Boni to Sell at 500 Gallery

A large etching of Alexander von Wagner’s painting Chariot Race in the Circus Maximus is among the top lots of 500 Gallery’s upcoming Prestige Collection 19th and 20th century art sale. In this piece, a Roman chariot race with quadriga is portrayed in front of Emperor Domitian at the Circus Maximus. Viewers are placed right in front of the galloping horses, whose hooves seem to leave the ground at once. With meticulous detail, this etching illustrates ancient Rome’s chariot races. Also available is a lithograph by Italian artist Paolo Boni. Titled Third World, the print depicts abstract figures arranged in overlapping circles against a geometric plane. The artist’s signature appears in the lower corner.

An additional artwork of note in the catalog is a limited edition gravure and lithograph by Claude Monet, titled Venice, Rio de Santa Salute. Created in 1908, this print offers a magnificent view of the river alongside the Santa Salute church. This artwork brings together the beauty of Venice with Monet’s Impressionistic style. Bidders can also consider Pablo Picasso’s gravure on paper titled Portrait of Clovis Sagot and illustrations by Audrey Skaling.
