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

Because of the incorrect attribution in 1959, bought it at auction for just 45 pounds (about $ 80).

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.
