NEW YORK, NY -- Doyle held an auction of Old Master & 19th Century Paintings & Drawings on May 13, 2026 presenting works spanning the 16th through 19th centuries, including portraits, still lifes and landscapes, along with religious, historical and mythological subjects.
Johan Julius Ringdahl
A highlight of the sale was Achilles Mourning the Death of Patroclus, a rare neoclassic work by the Swedish artist Johan Julius Ringdahl (1813-1882), which tripled its $8,000-12,000 estimate, selling for an impressive $35,200—A World Auction Record for the Artist. A graduate of the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts who chiefly concentrated on portraiture and genre scenes, Ringdahl’s depiction of the first episode of the eighteenth book of Homer’s Iliad was almost certainly painted on commission for a serious lover of Greek poetry. It is a poignant evocation of the hero’s grief at the death of his friend Patroclus, who has been killed in battle by the Trojan prince Hector. Equally moving is the presence of Achilles’s mother, the sea goddess Thetis, who has come to comfort him. As she touches her son’s shoulder tenderly, she presents him with the new shield and armor just made for him by the smith god Hephaestus, offering him a way forward to fulfill his destiny.
