The Discovery & Restoration of Leonardo da Vinci's Long-Lost Painting "Salvator Mundi" | Robb Report

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ต.ค. 2018
- Leonardo da Vinci is one of history's greatest artists and thinkers. Only about 15 of his paintings are known to exist and one was thought to be lost forever. Leonard painted that masterpiece, called "Salvator Mundi" (Savior of the World) around 1500. It was owned by no less than three kings and, in 1763, it disappeared. This video tells the story of that incredible painting, how it was rediscovered in 2005, and what happened when it went to auction at Christie's in November 2017.

Imagine being the guy that sold this at his garage sale for only a couple thousand later to find out it sells for 400 million.... crazy
The sad part is that even if someone who is not associated with the circles would find out with 100% certainty, he would still not be able to convince people about it. The painting would have to end up in some mid/level art fanatic's hand before people can actually research the particular painting-
@@kidicaras2719 And they paid hefty for it
Thats a story I dont believe. From a king to a garage sale in the US?
bngr bngr
500 years is a long time, and careless edits made to the painting made it seem fake. I'm not saying certainly that it's genuine or fake, but it is plausible based on that story that it's genuine. The painting disappeared in 1763 - with such a large window of uncertainty a lot of things could have happened to it. Heck, it could be that this painting is a fake - and that the real thing was destroyed 200 years ago.
Helena Nilsson it never made it to the Louvre in Abu Dhabi. It might of been sold already. Or the Louvre determined that it was a fraud. It only was declared a Da Vinci by a visual inspection. It was not scientifically tested.
Can you even imagine the feeling of RETOUCHING Leonardo Da Vinci's painting? Of painting on the same surface as one of the greatest artists and scientists of all time? My God. I'd throw up.
Please don't throw up on painting 🎨
My heart pounds just at the thought !
well hopefully you'd aim AWAY from the painting :)
My tears would probably ruin it.
I’d cry for an undetermined length of time and then throw up.
Thought this was a Baumgartner video...... I’ll be going now

Same
Same 😂
Sameee omggg😂😂😂😂
Huh?
Can’t even imagine sharing the same canvas as Leonardo, that restorer is unbelievably lucky
for many years my sis traveled to restore rare artifacts & paintings.. never knew til my niece said something about it, she also worked on the great ships, restoring them. not a clue.
And she's unbelievably good too!
Based on the conversation, she thought it was some sort of copy until she started work on the lips. Then she realized it was the real deal.
Imagine that moment working on it. As an artist, someone who for the sake of their work effectively needs to put themselves in the feet of the original artist for the sake of restoration...suddenly realize she's sharing the same canvas with who's considered one of the best painters of all time?
Perhaps I'm being hyperbolic, but being "unbelievably lucky" is a massive understatement.
You should imagine being a forger like her, because she completely overpainted it and the original was not a Leonardo.
@@2011bluemanWhat? Don’t get your drift. You just heard the backstory.
So, really, there is nothing much about the actual restauration in this video :/
Only talking about money as usual.
yeah, it was mostly about the history of the painting and what the restorers were feeling while restoring it.
Dianne's creepy "we are one with the painting, we feel each other" moments made me feel uncomfortable 😥
Well, if you were doing a really important job, you wouldn't really want someone hanging around with a video camera showed up your armpit, would you? Some restorations are video documented, but most professionals just want to do their job as undisturbed as possible.
@@helenanilsson5666 While that's understandable the title of the video does make it sound like it's going to show the restoration itself as well. The history was interesting but I was still expecting to see something from the process. Even just some photos of updates or something.
@@Shaphina yeah, i was kinda expecting that too.
I like the painting itself but the way this woman talks about it is the true treasure
@The Melbournian Exactly. Everything about this is fake.
Ann Well I think the people are all into themselves with this. This painting is only a rendition of Jesus by Leonardo. If you want to know what Jesus really looked like look at the illustrations from Jehovah’s witnesses or the painting of Jesus done by Akiane. They have the more accurate depiction.
For me it's just me just a piece of Art LOL 😂😂😂😂
She had intercourse with it what did you expect
There is nothing as compelling as a person who has found their true bliss. 🙋💫🔭🌌
Mr. Bean's painting of "whistler's mother" is still the best
Finally!!
Another person of TRUE culture and discernment in the comments!
😆❤️
Squidward's sculpture of David with that special nose ...
They didn't just invite in da Vinci experts to look at the painting and say that it was. Once they saw what was underneath the overpainting, science came to the forefront. Carbon dating of a small sample from the original paint would give them evidence of age. The paint sample would also be chemically analyzed to see if it matched that of other da Vinci paintings. Each artist has a particular style of brushstrokes, which experts would already be very familiar with.
THANK YOU! I like there's a bunch of "arts experts" in these comment section. As if the dozens of Vinci's specialists (that dedicated decades of their lifes studying his art), carbon dating and UVA ray testing got all wrong because Bob from TH-cam knows better.
@@sofiapettala6747 you should watch the lost Leonardo it's really interesting and sheds a new light on it's authenticity
@@sofiapettala6747 A number of experts don't think this is an authentic Leonardo.
@@golden-63 the experts are not sure if the painting is ENTIRELY made by Leonardo or just PARTIALLY. But all of them agree that it has the hand of Leonardo in some parts of the painting. Probably it was made partially by Leonardo and partially by his students in his workshop. To me, it does not change the beauty of the painting, but it reduces drastically the price value
This painting of Jesus sold for $450,000,000. Judas must feel like he got ripped off, considering he only got $216.25 for the REAL Jesus.
Lol nice 😂. Did you check the price of silver to make your calculations?? I'm pretty sure he got more than that.
777 - we know who you are now ~~~
Read the Gospel of Judas Iscariot. He caught a bum beef.
🤣😂🤣🤣 this comment is so underrated...
I’m a strong Christian, I shouldn’t be laughing at this. But right now I’m dying laughing and bowling my eyes out because this comment is golddddd.
Pawn Stars be like: I see you bought the Salvator Mundi for $450,000,000. Best I can give you for the piece is 15 bucks and not a penny more and I'm assuming all the risk here. There's just not a huge market for lost Leonardo da Vinci paintings out there
absolutely true 👍☺
those guys are con
😂😂😂😂😂
Cruel. 😆
Let's see what the old man thinks...
Yep just too much risk for such a high price - we can maybe do $100 or so for you...
thesuperparrot aren’t they closed?
Many of today's great artists are without a doubt the restorers like this woman who can feel the brush of the original artist guiding her own as caresses the canvas with her own brush, and brings to life the emotion and the genius of a man like Da Vinci. Bravo to both of these incredible artists.
Beautiful!👍
Beautiful!👍
Not only that, but there is no ego. They can paint like the masters because the masters left them clues, but they would never dream of putting themselves into someone else’s masterpiece
I've never seen or heard anything about this painting until today. I cried at its beauty and the magical way it came to the perfect person to bring it back. Wonderful piece.
if you would have more interested in art then you would know than its fake made up by bunch of fraudsters.
The more you cry, the less you pee
@@puraprata 🤣
Everyone: it's clearly a painting of jesus and his religious belief
Leonardo: meets random dude that happen to look like jesus "ey let me paint you I need to finish my quota"
Jose Toral lmao bruh
And yeah he also taught it would be cool to name it “Christ the saviour” because RANDOM!!!11 ex dee
Lmao what if that was true 😂😂
And how did leonardo know what Jesus looked like ? It was not until a few years ago with 21 century NASA equipment that we know what Jesus looked like and Leonardo NAILED IT !
mickavellian NASA does work in space they aren’t worrying what Jesus looks like
Just happened to be found in Louisiana, U.S.A. Oh yeah. I had better check my closet. Probably some long lost masterpieces in my closet.
Hey, it happens.
It happens. Usually it is hidden well behind the wardrobe or the sofa.
Frank Blangeard haha ikr! I was like ooh wonder if my grandparents have any mega million dollar paintings lying around?!! Haha
Actually, it's not so uncommon as you would believe. I studied East Asian histories and it's something of a reoccurring punchline in Japanese historical studies about a lost work of a famous author or artist being found in the family storage, since it's occurred so often.
Probably was "watching down" on a plantation at one point of it's life in Louisiana...
Amazing how seeing the painting, even through the eyes of the internet elicites emotion. An extraordinarily beautiful work of art.
Congratulations to this woman!
What a piece of work she accomplished.
She is a fantastic forger, without a doubt the best forger in the world.
If you came here to watch the restoration of the painting, turn back. There is nothing here for you.
I don't know... there's something about Christ's eyes in this painting that seems dark, distant, and very eerie. But the gold in the curls of his hair is like a halo that keeps me from being absolutely terrified by the painting. I know it's weird but the eyes leave me just a bit creeped out.
Ash PS....you have good eyes ! A lot of people forget the story of Christ....he was a man ! and LDV is showing us ...a man who has just seen his future, ( crystal ball in hand.) i think if i just saw a glimpse of myself being beating, tortured and murdered, i'm sure my eyes would be dark, distant and maybe even eerie. ( No one else seems to be talking of this, so thanks for bringing this up....my faith in humanity is restored !)
also keep in mind that painting around the eye area has been smeared and lost due to poor restoration prior, so originally there would of been more resolution there. If only we could get it back in original order and see what really looked like. But that will never happen cause' of that price tag..
It's creepy.
Don't worry, it's a fake: th-cam.com/video/gtXEeo5pRsI/w-d-xo.html
He looks baked.
It's a brilliant painting, so pleased I got to see it on display, in London before the auction...
"...embodied much of what he thought about time, eternity, and the cosmos..." 💖
This should be in a museum, not in a private collection.
Cry more
It Is in a museum 🤦🏻♂️
It being owned by a private collector protects it
Tbh some private rich collector could take care of it more, and protect it from any harm.. since it is kept in a safe place.
Bruh You sound like indian jones lol
Am I the only one who thinks paintings should be in museums for everyone to see
Katrina Naron only they cancelled that showcase and no one knows or talks about where the paining is...
@@ifiva a little painting worth 450mill gone missing!bad copy of Leos work!absolutly no background details and head on profile painting!
@@lorraineclark4413 Christie's would have done a provenance of the painting (as the one gentleman was explaining) but there would have been other information on the panel and painting that would have confirmed the provenance that are not mentioned in this very brief documentary.
@@adriennenaron2913 no it's not. I'am waiting for that for 2 years but they keep postponing the display and now the word is that it's with Saudi crown prince. So no it seems was just bought in the name of Louvre Abu Dhabi.
@@tigress63 Christie's don't do the provenance. Its the owner's headache. Its the certifying body for that painter's work and independent experts in case of old masters who authenticate it. Its like the court system however without any formal accreditation though. Its a system of opinion. In this case Robert Simon, also the owner of rather successful Robert Simon Fine Arts Gallery. He was the initial art experts, who commissioned restoration and then presented it to fellow art experts. Some agreed, some didn't. We knew which side won.
I've never seen this painting. I'm tearing up, so beautiful.
Never have I gazed at any painting eliciting such pure and sweet emotion.
I'll never forget the moment our eyes first met while watching this video.
These people have $400,000,000 to spare and i had to ask for a ride to work tomorrow...
Yah buddy the world is fucked, sad thing is when the poor people rise up these works of art will likely be lost in the fires!
Yep and it's all blood money
Better die and be reincarnated into a billionaire family. That's my plan if I'm not rich at 40. #lifehack
Well it is their money and think about how hard they worked for their money. Plus the painting is priceless it is the original.
@@katiet8926 I don't think Saudi princes worked very hard for their money. Not every wealthy person gets there by the sweat of their brow. Far from it.
I've had a print of this Da Vinci in my home for years & even as just a print it's powerful.
jesus was black
Jesus was jewish
@@ashishnaruto No, he was not.

Maybe the real one is lying in your home
Dianne Dwyer Modestini comments reminded me, if I may say something and many may have noticed. Some of these great Master painter's pieces gives off an energy that can be literally felt. This happened to me a few times over the years and once to my husband with the Monet in the Musée d'Orsay and then again to a friend I took to Ringling Museum. It was the Peter Paul Rubens room, it even quieted our toddlers. So when Ms. Modestini says oh yes this was the real thing, I think I understand what she meant.
if you would have more interested in art then you would know than its fake made up by bunch of fraudsters.
Its amazing that they know the journey this painting has been on. That in itself is pricless considering how old the painting is. I would love to see it in person.
Nothing really mentioned about the very real concerns over its authenticity. Everyone is just assuming its real.
They wouldn't accept it if they are not right. What do you know anyway.
Most of the time when very old paintings are suddenly "found" there is a lot of skepticism. Just because they didn't show experts testing the painting, comparing previous works to it, style/color, etc. Doesn't mean it didn't happen. A painting like this doesn't just show up and NOT get tested. It was being sold as a copy anyway, (and having been repainted) which is some more proof that someone didn't just paint this and try to pass it of as an original Leo.
You're obviously not listening.
@Kenny Westone, why don't you shut up while you're behind.
I agree. The way this painting was verified is very suspicious. The fact that this was not mentioned is kids weird.
I was really expecting a lot more about the actual techniques and restoration in this.
Well, was done in the studio by students, with guidance maybe from the great man, if you really study the painting there are too many mistakes for it to be authenticated to Da Vinci.
Dianne has an entire website on the restoration - the Salvator Mundi Revisited and it goes into enormous depth about the techniques she used. It's totally fascinating.
@@alisinc0001 It's truly extraordinary for a forger to create an entire website dedicated to her forgery.
@@alisinc0001 Anyone can make an 'entire website'. I will never cease to be amazed at the hype that was generated pre-sale, NOR her 'restoration'.
What an amazing history of a painting lost for centuries. While I may think twice about it's current ownership, as a priceless piece of historical artwork in the Christian vein, I agree with the lady who said it's value will guarantee it's protection. It is a glory that it was re-discovered and it's a credit to be owned by those who will protect it as a piece of our global history.
I got to see Salvatore Mundi, with many other New Yorkers... It was a deeply spiritual emotional experience. I can't imagine what it must've felt like to restore it. I'll never forget this experience.
LMAO, I can't imagine seeing a forgery and having a "deeply spiritual emotional experience." Then again I'm also not foolishly gullible.
As a filmmaker, the one thing that brings out any film is a great story, and I love the way how you brought this film to life and gave it a heart, what a journey.
Such a gorgeous painting! I'd have sold it to an art museum before a private collector, or donated it if I were the one that was having it restored. It belongs somewhere to be viewed by the public imo.
Castor DarkHeart if you watch till the end it says its on a long term loan to a museum
guess you didn't watch the video?
You would have donated $450 million painting? Yeah right
Castor DarkHeart it is if you read the title it’s being held for public viewing
@@J.G.H. IT was revealed to have been sold to the Saudi crown prince.
Stunning painting! I was able to get right up close to it (a few inches) when it was part of the Leonardo: Painter at the Court of Milan exhibition in London's National Gallery, back in 2011.
Sadly, unable to get a photo as security was by it but what a memory to have. The biggest collection of Da Vinci's work ever assembled in one location.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
I don’t know much about art, but I love how we still have passion in our society today for historic pieces.
I feel sorry for the person that sold that as a copy for pocket change.
I would feel more sorry for the person who bought it, except for them they bought it for pocket change
Ya that would get you swinging from a tree! Lol
Imagine having something this valuable in your house and it’s worth that much. Ppl need to learn from the past and start getting artwork checked
Beautiful beautiful painting true genius what a gift .
I love that the retouching was just to add curls.
1. Paint a great painting in a famous artist's style, using antiquated paints, canvas etc.
2. Damage it badly.
3. Repair it badly, incompletely, and overpaint a bit, badly.
4. Repair it more, using different materials, badly. Overpaint parts of the first repair. Coat it with dark varnish and dirt!
5. 'Find it', in a yard sale, bric-a-brac shop, or antiques road show.
6. 'Have feelings' it might be worth something!
7. Have the old varnish cleaned off. 'Discover' some former damage, and have more feelings.
8. Have the dodgy 2nd repair removed, 'discover' more former damage, and have more 'feelings', asking experts for their opinion.
9. Start putting the story out, and commissioning full restoration over a very large time-frame, for effect. Use the time to encourage the rumours.
10. Deliver to Sotheby's!
11. Laugh all the way to the bank!
Heh heh!
You say 'famous artist's style' as if it's a card trick. The whole point is that painting like Da Vinci or Raphael or Picasso is impossible. You'd know that if you actually learnt about art.
@@nilanjanabhattacharjee2797
For some artists, painting in another artist's style is a matter of choice - they imitate easily, and pass the scrutiny of the 'experts' which is why so many 'fakes' go undiscovered (according to famous forgers, like Hebborn, Perennyi and Beltracchi).
But you'd know that if you actually learned about forgery!
Blessings on your innocence!
@@nilanjanabhattacharjee2797 in art classes, where you learn about art, you're encouraged to replicate and copy famous artists art styles
The more you know
You know, to this be done you have to travel in time. We have enough technology to know the age of the paint. Soo.... great fanfic though
@@nilanjanabhattacharjee2797 why us it impossible
Looking into this paintings eyes I wanted to cry.. So beautiful. Strange how Leonardo was able to capture the soul of the eyes. It's truly a blessing to look into those powerful eyes. So very angelic..
Bonnie Lass, "how Leonardo was able to capture the soul of the eyes. It's truly a blessing to look into those powerful eyes. So very angelic.."
Gorgeous painting. No one painted like Leonardo
This painting so beautiful it brought a tear to my eyes. I’m in love with this painting. ❤❤
I recently read an article that speculated this painting is over-restored and that it has conservation issues.
And now it is gone:
"In September 2018, the exhibition was indefinitely postponed and a January 2019 news report indicated that "no one knows where it is, and there are grave concerns for its physical safety""
5chr4pn3ll what? Nooooooooo
Heaven grant that this and all such masterpieces be preserved.
Sell it to a Saudi prince, yeah that will protect it...
Don't worry too much. A LOT of people who would know have said it's a fake.
Last I heard, they didn't want art critics to judge the painting because it ain't real Leonardo and it might be on one of MBS (main prince of Saudi Arabia) private Yachts.
Great story, well told, thank you.
You work for 40yrs to have $1M in your retirement,meanwhile some people are putting just $10K in a meme coin from just few months ago and now they are multimillionaires.
Is it possible to produce superior performance provided you do something different from the majority, However most of us tend to pay more attention to the shiniest position in the market to cost proper diversification.

That’s the most beautiful painting I’ve ever seen.
I highly recommend to watch the documentary on this, dianne modestini restored this painting so heavily it’s more her work than de Vinci’s. There’s also the question if the painting was actually by the great master himself or one of his students.
How on earth do you you begin to restore a painting of this magnitude- mind blowing really.
Pretend it’s a fake
Imagine being a guy in Louisiana who was in possession of the most expensive piece of art , made by the one of the greatest geniuses in human history, that was eventually owned by Royalty hundreds of years ago. And you had no idea so u put it in the garage sale
I doesn't go with the sofa.
A Masterpiece! Salvador Mundi! Thanks for sharing this is so rare, so precious, what amazing Vibes! WOW
Imagine what DaVinci would say if he could witness how much the world would come to treasure his work.
Such a humble beginnings which amounts to such prestigiousness. We don’t have anyone that can even come close to that these days sadly.
A massive stature as DaVinci expressing his genius and yet some ppl in the 21st century still bickering whether or not a god exists... All the proof has always been here all along imho.
The beauty of the Mundi is that a lot of ppl who previously had it all missed the opportunity on it’s real beauty/value.
From what close to trash to literally treasure.
And this is but a tangible thing one man has created, imagine how much the maestro himself would fetch.
I am so glad that Leonardo da Vinci's painting:Salvator Mundi, was found and restored, a big THANK YOU to all who was involved.
I love how Dianne talked in an almost whisper like tone. Its almost like she thought that Leonardo da Vinci's spirit was also present in the room to hear her speak.
And I wish she had spoken up so that I could hear her.
I have a real problem with a painting like this, a true masterpiece, being in a private collector's possession. At least it is on loan to the Louvre, for now... I feel it should belong to a museum, to the public, not a single individual.
IKR
well if u pay 450 million for it then why not
Money buys evreything including history.
It's a forgery, and it was bought by true evil.
Because most of the world…including the U.S….is controlled by a few filthy rich people, they get to do whatever they want.
I am in awe of the lady that did the restauration. A super human.
Is strange that Da Vinci painted in such a way even people that are not interested in art stop and watch. I surely would cry if I stood in front of this painting.
Painting of a man who taught it was “easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God" sells for $450M.
that has nothing to do with anything
the real sentence was lost in translation, it was meant to a small backside door of castle/town
Read that passage from the bible in context instead of just repeating what you hear, the bible doesnt say its bad to be rich
@Beautiful White wrong, he was born in a manger with a bunch of animals, god sent him to save humanity.
@@michaelbrownlee9497 I can't tell if you're making a sarcastic joke or if you really believe that.
I’ve read numerous times from experts that this painting was not even by Leonardo da Vinci but by one of his students
Most of the famous painters in history used to do it. They would start something and let their students finish it. Or, they would have so much work to do, they would give the work to one of their students
His students were not so talented to do this
Now that is something to look into. Someone call Sherlock, quick!!
Read this on an article, thought I'd share: “Leonardo has worked on the painting, [and] I think that's important to recognize," Landrus says in his interview with Holland and Prisco of CNN. "We tend to think in black and white-one or the other, when it comes to attribution, but that's definitely not the tradition. The tradition was to get help from the studio.” I, personally, don't think it should matter how much percent of it he did, all that matters is that he contributed one way or another. It's connected to Leonardo, regardless.
If I made a time machine, I would be meeting Leonardo Da Vinci just to video his work and hang out with him for a while.
A beautiful painting draws you in.
i want this amazing piece of art to be put in Louvre Paris with Mona lisa because it should’ve been done like this

How about just calling it Priceless?
It can’t be replaced just like the Mona Lisa.
Its Priceless!
Purchasing at some garage sale?
Yeah- there was a billionaire who found a Tasmanian tiger pelt at a garage sale too. Pisses me off, although it's rich people who are probably more able to identify these things than poor folks like me.
An estate sale is not really a garage sale. I once went to an estate sale at a fancy house and people were buying everything in the house that wasn’t bolted down. I assume the owner upgraded, died or lost a lot of money.

Wow, could you imagine working on the same piece as Leonardo Da Vinci? If you’re an artist I imagine there are few things on earth that could rival that privilege. Props to the conservator.
That painting really brought me to tears 😢 wow
Lol u would die if u knew the truth about who the model for that painting was it's sad people still believe it's jesus, here's a shocker jesus was not white and that's the truth
I have seen Il cenacolo of Leonardo many years ago.
I was with my wife.
We were astonished.
For 15 minutes we couldn't speak. Completely speechless. Completely thoughtless.
But the strange thing is that this silence started at the same time and finished at the same time.
So it happened the same thing to me and my wife and we didn't know.
*Click my name and check out who I found hidden in the Mona Lisa!*
Its funny when this guy can tell the whole chain of who owned this painting since the 500’s to the 1700’s and what not then say “then it was bought by an American we think...”
The negative aspect of private ownership.
You can find files and documents in public or ar at least for research accessable sources, but cant go through private peoples stuff tho.
From the 1500’s...
There’s a VERY good chance this painting isn’t authentic that’s why. Look into it.
@@MrZachgonz But it is.
Ken even if it is. It has been restored multiple times over the years, the original artists work is not there in full anymore. And has been reinterpreted. I studied this work in art school and quite a few people think this piece is not even the original too.
It was ...so delightful...to listen to the lady restorer.
It should not have been sold but put in a museum for all to enjoy. There are a few precious things in life that are more value than money. But, I am proud that she was so lucky to have such a fine. That man had so much talent, beyond words.
its in a museum, watch the whole video ffs
I wish if I were that restorer who have made those blessed work at this painting!
The painting depicts a person bidding on this painting.
Lol
Except the Saudi prince that bought it.

" The price does not matter" that was perfectly said.
The price does not matter...but we firm at $450 million hahaha
Regardless of whether Leonard painted it or what Jesus actually looked like this is an amazingly beautiful painting which speaks to many of us on a deeply spiritual level. I saw it on exhibition in London, and its presence is quite extraordinary.
Stunning
No one could paint hair like Leonardo. A signature.
unless you have the hair...

The way she talks about this painting as if it’s a child is so beautiful
Avante-Garde Geckos what do u expect out of a 450 million dollar painting
No its blasphemous, the lord said not to create an idol of his image. We should all choose to honor God by obeying his commands, no matter how beautiful the painting may be.
It's more then that.
What a piece.
So beautiful
So, it’s currently missing...
“Christie's confirmed that Prince Badr acted on behalf of Abu Dhabi’s Department of Culture and Tourism for display at the Louvre Abu Dhabi. In September 2018, the exhibition was indefinitely postponed and a January 2019 news report indicated that "no one knows where it is, and there are grave concerns for its physical safety”.”
Uh... what?! A Saudi Prince just paid nearly half a billion clams for this painting, and now it’s missing?!
ColliCub not to be a bitch or anything, but what did they expect? It should have just stayed in Europe.
Ainsley B Ainsley B Yeah, I think the issue with the Saudi’s Louvre Museum appears to be based around the fact that it’s been OVER-restored; as in, they’ve got it now, it’s been assessed by their experts and they’re like ‘What the f***, this isn’t what we were expecting!’ and they’re refusing to exhibit it. But as it’s their property now, they’re not obliged to divulge its condition or whereabouts and these guys are freaking out!
Sounds about right.
Hopefully it wasn't destroyed...
I think this painting was purposely destroyed. Its main purpose was to serve as a front for money laundering between a Russian oligarch and the Saudis. It wasn't a Leonardo, just a recent copy so there isn't much of a cultural loss. Its easy to doubt my claims, but just start to look at the ridiculousness of this story in its totality.
His genius is incomparable and his talents unsurpassable Leonarda was in my opinion the greatest painter who ever lived and the greatest genius of all mankind.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Hallelujah ! Thank you for this wonderful video on the Great Master Leonardo DaVinci !Magnifico !! May all beings be happy ! :-)
The painting belongs to the world to see the Miracles of Leonardo DaVinci once again !! ❤❤❤😊😊😊
This painting should have a *.
Might be by Leonardo da Vinci.
Whether a Leonardo, Michelangelo, Rembrandt, Raphael, Van Goh, etc., there are always 'tells'...illustrating technique that could have only been accomplished by that master. Virtuosity is never seen in the work of a maestro's students, and, if it is, it will demonstrate his own self expression and only an influence of the maestro. This painting is definitely a Leonardo.
But who cares? The art market has achieved its goal of selling a canvas with some swirls of paint on it for $450m
@@yankee2666 If it's by da Vinci, he made the eyes un-level. I don't think da Vici would have made an error like that. I would bet it was painted by one of his students that emulated da Vinci's style quite well, but not to the perfectionist standard you would expect from a professional portrait painter.
Its total repainted by that lady..its is make up story just so i wonder why did they believe that and make a bid..
@@jnorth1000 There's a limit that the student can copy his master's works, this painting was carbon and digitally compared with other Vinci's. The technique matches perfectly, it's impossible to be untrue.
I get goosebumps looking at this painting ....this is just unbelievable...those eyes are alive and talking to the world 💖💖💖
If i had found this and brought it to auction i would have been told it was a copy but since a whole bunch of experts that say its an original just so happen to be the owners and now its priceless
It's so touching
(I share a birthday with Leonardo, he’s a reason I love art, and the reason I am an artist myself and now going to school to continue my fine artist degree into a PhD in early to high renaissance history...and I’ve always loved his work and felt profoundly connected to him.)
But My god. Why am I tearing up.
*Pulls self together*
Get ready to work at Starbucks.
@@mikikiki I work at one of the most well known film studios in the world…With a bachelors in illustration, and Art History. Why would I work at Starbucks?
This picture of Jesus looks EXACTLY like my hippie brother
Try selling your brother for $400M
@@badwifi931 firstly, hey fellow army. Secondly, hes honestly not even worth $4
isn't jesus everyone's hippie brother, tho?
whats his insta
Lol what's his Instagram?
Wonderful! Salvator mundi, salva nos!
I got to see this painting on preview in San Francisco. It made me cry.
Van Gogh self portrait made me cry
And sold to some tacky Saudi prince to go along with all his other bling. What a travesty.
Thinking the exact same thing
“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
- Matthew 6:19-21
Tell that to a modern Christian and they’ll argue that being rich and obtaining possessions indefinitely until death is totally cool and great in Christianity. Meanwhile it goes entirely against the core of the philosophy of morality of Christianity, and the theology for that matter.
That's the face of Tomasso Cavalieri. L.Dvinci very close friend, who's beauty was admired by L.D.
Catholic Church adopted as the image of Jesus.
World full of idolatry.
One of my favorite scriptures…
So much value given to a painting, and the real Jesus of Nazareth
is so easily forgotten.
Awesome video!
