The Lost Leonardo
AroView: The extraordinary story of the Salvator Mundi, a painting recently rediscovered and claimed to be a lost masterpiece by the Renaissance master himself, last selling at auction for the unprecedented sum of $450,000,000. But whether the work was painted by Leonardo DaVinci or Leonardo DiCaprio becomes all but beside the point, lost as it is in the fog of commerce and power.
“The first art-world documentary I’ve seen that captures what art becomes once it goes through the looking glass of greed: not just a commodity, but a way of transferring and manipulating power. It’s enough to make the Mona Lisa stop smiling.” Owen Gleiberman, Variety
