The Lost Leonardo

The film follows the discovery and successive sales of the painting Salvator Mundi, allegedly a work by Leonardo da Vinci, from its humble discovery in Florida to its record-breaking auction in 2017 for $450 million. The documentary chronicles the dramatic increases in the painting's value and explores the use of high-end art as a tool for wealth management, as well as the conflicts created by large commissions and economic incentives. Art experts and critics, including Maria Teresa Fiorio and Martin Kemp, weigh in on issues regarding the provenance and authenticity of the work.
