"Salvator Mundi" a newly rediscovered painting by Leonardo Da Vinci.

Salvator Mundi is a work of Leonardo da Vinci that was lost and later rediscovered and restored in 2011.

In France, Leonardo da Vinci painted the subject for Louis XII of France between 1506 and 1513. The recently authenticated work was once owned by King Charles I and recorded in his art collection in 1649 before being auctioned by the son of the Duke of Buckingham in 1763. It next appeared in 1900, damaged from previous restoration attempts and its authorship unclear, when it was purchased by a British collector, Sir Frederick Cook. Cook's descendants sold it at auction in 1958 for £45. The painting was rediscovered, acquired by a US consortium of art dealers in 2005, and authenticated as by Leonardo. It was exhibited by London's National Gallery during the Leonardo da Vinci: Painter at the Court of Milan from November 9 2011 to 5 February 2012.
