About Salvator Mundi

Sold for 450.3 million dollars in 2017, the most expensive painting ever. The attribution to Leonardo is disputed by some scholars. It disappeared after the sale and its current location is unknown. Some believe it is stored on a yacht. The crystal orb shows no distortion, a detail consistent with Leonardos optics.
