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 artistic realism with spiritual and religious themes, a hallmark of Leonardo's oeuvre.
The provenance of ''Salvator Mundi'' is a complex tapestry that weaves through history. After possibly being commissioned by Louis XII of France and his consort, Anne of Brittany, the painting's documented history begins in the collection of Charles I of England in the 17th century. It then disappeared until it was bought by a British collector, Sir Charles Robinson, as a work by Bernardino Luini, a follower of Leonardo. The painting's attribution to Leonardo was controversially restored after it was purchased at an auction in the United States in 2005, where it underwent restoration and analysis.
The ''Salvator Mundi'' has been the subject of much scholarly debate, with several leading Leonardo experts, including Martin Kemp, endorsing its attribution to the master, while others have posited the involvement of his workshop or followers. The painting's authenticity as a fully autograph work by Leonardo has been challenged, with some critics suggesting that it may have been completed by his assistants or later followers.
In 2017, ''Salvator Mundi'' gained widespread public attention when it sold for $450.3 million at auction to a buyer later revealed to be Saudi Arabian prince Badr bin Abdullah, setting a new record for the most expensive painting ever sold. The sale was brokered by the auction house Christie's in New York, and the high price was partly attributed to the rarity of Leonardo's paintings—fewer than 20 are known to exist—and the painting's historical significance.
The ''Salvator Mundi'' is one of the most enigmatic and controversial artworks of the 21st century, not only because of its disputed attribution and record-breaking sale price but also due to its mysterious whereabouts after its purchase, leading to speculation and intrigue within the art world. Its cultural and historical significance as a work potentially by one of history's most revered artists continues to captivate scholars, collectors, and the public alike.
