Painting Description
''Salvator Mundi'' is a painting attributed to Italian Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci, dating from around 1500. The artwork depicts Jesus Christ in Renaissance dress, making the sign of the cross with his right hand, while holding a transparent, non-refracting orb in his left, symbolizing the 'Savior of the World' (Latin: Salvator Mundi). The painting merges Renaissance ideals of scientific observation and the rendering of nature with iconography that speaks to the divine role of Christ.
The provenance of ''Salvator Mundi'' is a complex tapestry that weaves through history, with its origins rooted in the collection of King Charles I of England in the mid-17th century. After changing hands several times and disappearing from records, the painting re-emerged in the 20th century in a significantly altered state, leading to its initial misattribution. It was not until a consortium of art dealers purchased the work in 2005 that its true significance came to light. Following extensive restoration and analysis, the painting was attributed to Leonardo, although this attribution has been the subject of debate and controversy among art historians.
The painting's rediscovery and subsequent sale at auction in 2017 for $450.3 million set a new record for the most expensive artwork ever sold at public auction. This sale price reflects not only the rarity and historical significance of works by Leonardo but also the intense interest and speculative nature of the art market for Old Master paintings. ''Salvator Mundi'' has been exhibited in major museums, notably as part of the Leonardo da Vinci exhibition at the National Gallery, London, in 2011-2012, which played a significant role in reaffirming its attribution to the master.
The ''Salvator Mundi'' has become a cultural phenomenon, encapsulating the allure of Leonardo's genius, the drama of its disappearance and rediscovery, and the contentious debates over authenticity and conservation. Its enigmatic history and the mystery surrounding its current whereabouts continue to captivate public imagination and scholarly discourse.
