Leonardo da Vinci painting estimated at $ 200 million

Painting «Salvator Mundi» (Saviour of the world), written by Leonardo da Vinci, can set the world record for a painting, if it is put up for sale: experts believe that the painting can be sold for 125 million pounds sterling (approximately $ 201 million), writes Telegraph. At the moment, the most expensive is the work of Jackson Pollock, "Number 5, 1948", sold in 2006 for $ 140 million

The painting "The Saviour of the world" for a long time attributed to the brush of one of da Vinci's pupils. Once upon a time it belonged to the English King Charles I and Charles II, but then disappeared for two centuries. Because of incorrect merchandise in 1959, bought it at auction for just 45 pounds (about $ 80). Now the picture belongs to a consortium of American art dealers, who bought it six years ago. Then began the restoration work, which opened this image canvas and allowed experts to finally fix the authorship of a da Vinci.

In November of this year, the picture can be displayed in London's National Gallery exhibition of works by da Vinci, which already is sensational: it represented about 60 paintings and drawings of the great Italian Renaissance. Now the owners of the picture gallery and negotiating the inclusion of a "Savior of the world" in the exhibition. gazetaru

Leonardo is not (IMHO)

In 1958, the heirs to the British collector erroneously attributed Cook picture of Da Vinci's disciple by the name of Giovanni Boltraffio and sold it at Sotheby's for $ 73.

While not to be sold: From 9 November 2011 to February 5, 2012 that "the Savior world.2 and 13 other paintings of Leonardo will be on display at London's National Gallery.

And I think so, even something repulsive in it is.

zarajara, I'm glad I was not alone!
UTO is not the first time trying to pass off as Leonardo's hand ... (What unih, eyes, or something no?)

I was tormented by the radio station yesterday : - for what they say can sell , if launched $ 200 million ? The amount of space already . On the other hand if we assume that the true picture of Leonardo's found , how much can be sold ?
Does anyone know the size of this ?
PS
I also did not like the face of the savior.

Even the color photography is not.
For example, I did not see it anywhere b /w.

Can make a difference?

(May be better not to see ..)

Salvator Mundi
 

Actually, a lot of fog around this picture let loose ... It would not have been another simulacrum ... That's something that I found ...
