A long-lost painting by Leonardo da Vinci will go up for auction in New York City on Wednesday, when it is expected to fetch well over $100 million. But a dozen years ago, the same painting — albeit obscured by time and the brush strokes of later artists — went up for sale at an auction house in Louisiana and sold for only $10,000.
Not much is known about how “Salvator Mundi,” which depicts Jesus holding a clear orb and raising his right hand in blessing, came to be in Louisiana. At the time it was thought to have been painted by a member of Leonardo’s school.
