About this movie

After mysteriously reappearing, the painting titled Salvator Mundi was sold at Christie's for a record 450 million dollars in 2017. Attributed to Leonardo da Vinci after its discovery, what became the most expensive piece of art ever has unleashed passions while revealing the excesses of our time. But is it really the work of the Italian genius, or one of the greatest scams in the history of art?

Ratings and reviews

So the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammad bin Salman, paid 450 million dollars for a fake Leonardo Da Vinci? Serves him right, since he is the repressive dictator who had the esteemed journalist Jamal Khashoggi murdered. See the excellent documentary on Google Play called The Dissident. Mohammad bin Salman tried to pressure the art experts at the Louvre to authenticate the Salvator Mundi, but they refused. Repressive dictators don't always get their way!
