Salvator Mundi is Latin for “Savior of the World.” It’s a painting by Leonardo da Vinci from around 1500 AD, and was purchased by a Saudi Arabian businessman for over 450 million dollars. The painting depicts Jesus Christ in clothing worn during the Renaissance period, holding a crystal ball and making a gesture of blessing. Thought to have been lost or destroyed around 1603, it was rediscovered, restored, and exhibited in London in 2011.
