Para que lo sepas, este es el cuadro mas caro del mundo – So You Know it, This is The Most Expensive Painting in the World…

(«Salvator Mundi»)

Y no, no lo he pintado yo…

En si, no se sabe con entera certeza quien lo pintó, los expertos…mare meua…se lo han atribuido a Leonardo da Vinci, y piensan que es del 1500, mas o menos. Ahora pienso que después de todas restauraciones que se le han hecho al cuadro ha de quedar muy poco de lo que pintó Leonardo, si es que es Leonardo el verdadero autor del cuadro.

Pero para que te enteres, este cuadro estuvo perdido por muchos años y apareció en 2005 muy restaurado. Lo expusieron en una exposición de Leonardo da Vinci en el National Gallery de Londres, 2011-2012. Allí los sabios expertos se la atribuyeron a Leonardo. Pero como el cuadro no esta firmado…

Y ahora chúpate esta, ¡Salvator Mundi se vendió en subasta (Christie’s New York), en 2017 por 450.312.500,00 USD que ahora son 449.625.773,44 euros! ¡El cuadro mas caro del mundo! Si es de Leonardo es la única pintura de ese autor que está en manos privadas. Después de la venta, la pintura no la hemos visto mas. Alguien dijo que la vio en 2019 en el yate Serene, propiedad de Mohamed bin Salmán, príncipe heredero de Arabia Saudita. Parece ser que el la compró. También se dice que que le pidieron al presidente francés Emmanuel Macron y al Museo del Louvre exponer la obra junto a la Mona Lisa (La Gioconda) para legitimarla como obra de da Vinci, pero Macron se negó rotundamente.

The most expensive painting in the world, and no, I did not paint it…

Nobody really know who did paint it, the painting is not signed. The experts…oh the experts…have attributed it to Leonardo da Vinci, supposedly painted in and around the year1500. However, after the many restorations it has undergone throughout the centuries, if da Vinci really painted it, by now there is little left of his work. That is if he really was the painter…

Now, for your information, this painting remained lost for many, many years. It surfaced in 2005, fully restored and was exhibited in a Leonardo exhibition at the National Gallery in London, (2011-12). It was there where these knowledgeable wise men said it was the work of Leonardo da Vinci. If so, it is the only da Vinci in a private collection.

And now get ready, Salvator Mundi sold at auction (Christie’s New York), in 2017 for 450.312.500,00 USD, which is now 449.625.773,44 Euros! The most expensive painting ever sold. After it was sold it has not been seen again, at least not by the public. Someone said, in 2019, that the painting is hanging in the luxury mega-yacht Serene, property of Mohamed bin Salmán, crown prince of Saudi Arabia. It looks like he bought it. It was also said that it was asked to the French president Macron and Le Louvre to exhibit the painting next to the Mona Lisa to legitimise it as an authentic da Vinci, but both rejected the request.

    1. You’re right, but to a man like that, it is little more than petty cash…

    An interesting story Franesc, but those eyes don’t quite match those of Mona Lisa’s somehow. I think the Crown Prince has been duped 🙂

    1. Well, no one from Le Louvre wanted the painting, not even to authenticate its authorship. That should tell him someting…
      Thank you my friend, and a great day to you!

  6. A fascinating mystery! I’ve never seen this painting before and my first guess was da Vinci. But if the Louvre wasn’t interested maybe it was painted by someone attempting to paint like da Vinci?

    1. It is quite a mystery and by now it really makes no difference who really painted it originally because with so many restorations, little is left of the original brushstrokes…
