After mysteriously reappearing, the painting Salvator Mundi was sold at Christie's for a record 450 million dollars in 2017. Attributed to Leonardo da Vinci after its discovery, what became the most expensive piece of art ever has unleashed passions while revealing the excesses of our time. But is it really the work of the Italian genius, or one of the greatest scams in the history of art?

THE LOST LEONARDO is about the battle over the fate of the Salvator Mundi, an ancient painting of Christ that, after its unexpected reappearance in 2004, becomes considered a long-lost Leonardo da Vinci masterpiece and is embroiled in personal, economic, legal and geopolitical disputes, all before disappearing once again.
