“Red Vineyards in Arles” — Vincent van Gogh
Price: $3,750,000
Van Gogh is often said to have sold just one painting in his lifetime: this one. The story is simplified, but essentially true.
It sold for 400 francs at a Brussels exhibition in March 1890, four months before his death. The buyer, Belgian artist and collector Anna Boch, belonged to the Les XX group. Her brother Eugène was Van Gogh’s friend, and he painted his portrait in Arles in autumn 1888.
In a letter to his brother Theo, Van Gogh sheepishly admitted the Bochs had paid the full price, though he should have offered them a friends-and-family discount.
Anna kept the painting until 1907, when Moscow collector and textile magnate Ivan Morozov bought it for 30,000 francs—a sign of Van Gogh’s rising posthumous reputation. The Morozov collection was nationalized in 1918; in 1948, the painting went to Moscow’s Pushkin Museum, where it remains.

Europe Bridge — Gustave Caillebotte
Price: $160,000
Caillebotte spent hours sketching this bridge, then arranged and reworked the figures in his studio to find the right viewpoint. In a photograph, a man in a hat stands almost exactly as he does in the painting.
The bridge crosses the tracks at Saint-Lazare station, where six avenues named for European capitals met. To 19th-century Parisians, it symbolized the industrial age.
The foreground figures remain debated. The top-hatted man may be Caillebotte, with acquaintance Anne-Marie Hagen beside him. A worker leans on the railing, gazing toward the station. Though they share a bridge, the wealthy flâneur and worker seem to inhabit different worlds.
Shown at the 1877 Impressionist exhibition when Caillebotte was 28, the painting reflects his dual role as artist and leading patron. His support sustained fellow Impressionists, and his collection later helped form France’s national Impressionist collection.

The Beheading of Saint John the Baptist — Caravaggio
The only painting Caravaggio signed, it bears the words “brother Michelangelo” in the blood from the saint’s severed throat. At the time, he was a fugitive murderer: after killing a man in a Rome street brawl, he was sentenced to death and fled to Malta.
The Knights of St John welcomed him and made him a knight, a distinction that might help secure a papal pardon. He painted this enormous altarpiece for Valletta’s cathedral, the largest canvas of his career. But after a fight with a senior knight, he was imprisoned, escaped Malta, and in December 1608 was expelled from the order as a “rotten and foul” former brother. The ceremony took place before this very painting.
Caravaggio never received a pardon. Two years later, he died under mysterious circumstances, never returning to Rome.
