Italy Seizes Stolen Da Vinci School Masterpiece 'Salvator Mundi,' What Artistic Value Does This Painting Have?

To talk about the theft of Leonardo da Vinci painting masterpiece "Savior" we have to first understand Leonardo da Vinci and the background of his time. Always say da Vinci is great how great he really is? First of all, the achievements said da? Finch is a great painter is not accurate, he is a learned man, in painting, music, architecture, mathematics, geometry, anatomy, physiology, zoology, botany, astronomy, meteorology, geology, geography, physics, optics, mechanics, inventions, civil engineering and other fields have remarkable achievements. He was a genius and more than a genius, he was an all-rounder. In the context of his time, if any of his research leaked out, the Church might have burned him. The Church might have had to burn him.

After the introduction of Leonardo da Vinci, let's talk about this painting? The Savior, which became the most expensive work of art ever sold at Christie's in New York in 17 years at a price of 3 billion yuan, with the entire auction lasting only 20 minutes. The 26-inch-high, 18.5-inch-wide oil on wood panel bust of Jesus embodies a typical Renaissance style, in which Jesus' right hand is raised in blessing, his left hand holds a transparent crystal ball, and his hair appears dynamic, with a full, lifelike flesh-colored structure of his face.

The overall picture of "The Savior" contains a disturbing sense of strangeness and rustiness. And by all rights, a painting of the Savior from that era would have come with a crown and a cross. That's standard for Jesus. Instead, Leonardo da Vinci's Savior is holding a transparent crystal ball. And in the painting, he utilizes the famous? "Fading"? The layers are created by the famous trompe l'oeil method. Remember the crystal ball mentioned earlier? If it were an ordinary crystal ball, it wouldn't look as good as it does in the painting. Why? Leonardo da Vinci's character was such that he could draw an ordinary tree and produce dozens and dozens of pages of notes. It is unlikely that he would have made such a cheap mistake. Of course, only he knows why he painted it this way. This piece of work has more than a few unanswered questions.
