This painting, although still very attractive, is no longer considered a work of Leonardo da Vinci and will lose its place among our list of the 100 most famous paintings in history.
Leonardo da Vinci was originally thought to have painted Salvator Mundi for King Louis XII of France and his consort, Anne of Brittany. Experts today question the attribution of the painting to the Italian master, even though it sold at auction in November 2017 for $450,312,500, a record price for a work of art.
Salvator Mundi used to be part of our list of famous paintings , but it was replaced by another painting voted by the public and our artists.
