Description
This painting was inspired by the sale of the controversial Salvator Mundi, often attributed to Leonardo da Vinci. This painting portrays Jesus Christ raising one hand in a blessing while the other hand is holding a crystal orb. Salvator Mundi created history in 2017 when it became the most expensive work ever sold at an auction. The winning bid of $450.3 million was made by an anonymous bidder, later suspected to be Saudi Arabia’s crown prince Mohammad bin Salman.
The Salvator Mundi went missing from display after the auction.
