I still remember the hype it conjured when it was on view at Christie’s Hong Kong. Everyone talked about how they must go see the Salvator Mundi, the once lost and now found painting by the great Leonardo da Vinci. It achieved a record-breaking price of US$450 million. People continued to talk about it for a while. I didn’t think more of it until very recently, when The Lost Leonardo, a 2021 documentary by Danish director Andreas Koefoed came to light. I saw it on TV2 Play in Denmark out of curiosity. (Luckily it is mostly in English.)
