Whether Salvator Mundi, a painting attributed to da Vinci and sold by auctioneers Christie’s in 2017 for US$450 million , and believed by many art experts to be in the Gulf, will be part of the show remains to be seen. The exhibition, which opens on Thursday October 24, shows 10 of the paintings now attributed to da Vinci, including those kept in the Louvre — Saint Anne, Saint John the Baptist, The Virgin of the Rocks and La Belle Ferronnière — and works lent from other institutions.
The da Vinci exhibition includes two dozen drawings lent by Queen Elizabeth II, along with paintings and sculptures. Some of the works are by Da Vinci himself, while some are by other artists and are there to put the Italian maestro’s work into context. Diplomatic frictions had cast a shadow over the organization of the Paris show, with former Italian Prime minister Matteo Salvini saying pointedly that da Vinci was Italian, not French.
