The mysterious history of Leonardo da
Vinci's 'lost' Salvator Mundi, bought by self-styled 'sleeper
hunter' Alexander Parish for just $1,175 in New Orleans in 2005
and reportedly by Saudi Prince Mohammed Bin Salman for a world
record $450 million at a 2017 Christie's auction in London, is
told in a new documentary now showing at the Rome Film Festival.
The art-historical thriller titled The Lost Leonardo', by
Andreas Koefoed, was recently applauded at Robert De Niro's
Tribeca Film Festival in New York.
It is a goose-bumpy one hour and 40 minute ride though the
global art market, which one expert interviewed says "is after
drugs and prostitution the most profitable in the world".
