The Lost Leonardo

The Lost Leonardo movie directed by Andreas Koefoed focuses on Salvatore Mundi, which is allegedly Leonardo Da Vinci’s lost painting. The documentary, which is an international co-production, met with the audience in 2021. The film, which deals with the events since the first appearance of the piece at an auction house in New Orleans, which then was sold at an auction at Christie’s for a record 450 million dollars in 2017, sheds light on the story of the painting in the axis of fame, money and power. As its value increases, questions are being asked about its originality, and the work still preserves its mystery. Following complex structures involving many parties from the most powerful men in the world to the most known art institutes, The Lost Leonardo opens the doors of a modern mystery to the audience. In the chain of events where the interests outweigh the facts, the dark side of the art world is also being revealed.
