Believed to be a long-forgotten masterwork by Leonardo da Vinci, the Salvator Mundi is the most expensive painting ever sold at $450 million. But is it really by Leonardo, or do certain players simply want it to be? This gripping art-world thriller uncovers the fascinating, stranger than fiction story of how the painting went from a bargain basement replication to a pawn in a geopolitical game of fame, money and power. Unravelling the hidden agendas of the richest men and most influential art institutions in the world, The Lost Leonardo ultimately reveals how vested interests became all-important, and the truth secondary.
