The saga continues, the latest news on the Salavator Mundi painting attributed to Leonardo da Vinci: https://news.artnet.com/art-world/leonardo-da-vinci-salvator-mundi-new-drawing-1924671
I use ad blockers, and I can see it without a problem. Maybe something else stopping it? The gist of the story is that while art historians knew there had once been a Salvator Mundi by da Vinci, there have always been doubts that the above Salvator Mundi was by him. Recently a sketch was discovered to be by da Vinci, and it is believed to be a study for the real da Vinci Salvator Mundi (and much more like his other works):
Im not clear on how that conclusion was reached . How could the "expert" possibly know that drawing was in fact Mundi ?
I have no idea, other than that the sketch is a da Vinci, and has apparently been recognized as such by the Leonardo da Vinci International Committee. But she is going to present a paper on her research after the Italian lockdown has been lifted. Of course that could take some time. Maybe she should consider online conferencing options.
