The Lost Leonardo 15

The Lost Leonardo is the engrossing, inside story behind the most expensive painting ever sold, reaching a price of $450 million.

From the moment the painting is bought for $1175 at a shady New Orleans auction house, and a restorer discovers masterful Renaissance brushstrokes under its cheap varnish, the Salvator Mundi’s fate is determined by an insatiable quest for fame, money and power. As its price soars, so do questions about its authenticity: is this painting really by Leonardo da Vinci?

Unravelling the hidden agendas of the richest people and most powerful art institutions in the world, The Lost Leonardo reveals how vested interests in the Salvator Mundi are of such tremendous power that truth becomes secondary.
