The Lost Leonardo
Sony Classic Pictures and Mitten Media present The Lost Leonardo, an art story like no other, which places us in the middle of the world’s wealthiest and most powerful people in a story full of incredible twists and turns.
The Salvator Mundi, a painting believed to be a rare work by Leonardo da Vinci, was sold at auction for $450M in 2017 by Christie’s in New York, setting a record. It was thought to be have been lost in the 17th century but was rediscovered in 2005 after being bought for just $10,000 from a private collection in New Orleans. The authenticity of the painting, which was eventually purchased by Saudi prince Badr bin Abdullah, is still disputed in some quarters.
