What Made The Da Vinci Painting Worth $450 Million (HBO)

- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- After nearly 20 minutes of nail-biting bidding on Wednesday night, Leonardo da Vinci’s painting Salvator Mundi, shattered the world record for the most expensive work of art ever sold at auction. Including fees, the 500-year-old rare masterpiece sold for $450.3 million.
Some questioned the authenticity of the painting as truly Da Vinci but with a price tag that far surpassed initial estimates the concern now seems irrelevant.
Before the sale, Vice News Tonight went to Christie's for a private viewing of Salvator Mundi with contemporary Brazilian artist Vik Muniz.

What Made The Da Vinci Painting Worth $450 Million?
Bidding
The meaning
StraIght af
haha😆
Exactly..cause every bidders were eager to own it...😂😂😂 not the portrait itself..
Yash i have no idea I do know my grandpa ones bought a painting for 50 bucks and it ended up being worth 100k
I know a Chinese dude down the street that makes these painting for 2 packs of ramen and some Pokemon cards.
Cee He's the real champ.
Steven Sanchez indeed. He even takes crappy energy cards. Lol
That Chinese dude will become a billionaire one day.
bullshit
😂😂😂😂😂
Judas must feel like he got ripped-off, considering he only got $216.25 for the REAL Jesus.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Witty comment mate!!😂😂
Lmao
Judas been robbed off
Best comment
Rick: Ill give you $100 for the painting but at that price im taking a risk.
Person: Brings in Jesus painting by Da Vinci
Rick: Wow this is a cool piece but I have to be sure that this is the real jesus , I have a dude who lives just down the street who knew Jesus... so lemme give him a call to get an expert opinion.
Painting Expert (On Call-Friend of Rick): Seems authentic to me, but unfortunately, it is an imitation made by a Chinese. See this line here, it contradicted Leonardo's paintings, if you see his paintings (which I doubt, sneers). Still... (Look at Rick, then back) the painting has a value. You see, you won't find any kind like this, not anymore.
Rick: Then how much is it? (Look at him with meaningful gaze)
Painting Expert (On Call-Friend of Rick): They made 4 of this, so I would say... mmm... around 4 grand.
Rick: 4 grand? Okay.
qwerty link Rick:I would maybe go for1500 man lowest I’ll go
Wrong show, geek.

Yes. Luci, The Anti.
little does everyone know, his depiction christ was the mona lisa, and this picture was just a reflection of himself.. thats why he completed this, because it was of himself .. .. guys the library in the vatican has a lotttt of shit .
buyer could have hired a Delta Force team , stole it for 1/10 the price
Mikhail Zavarov well but you cant sell it anywhere ... no way someone is gonna buy the most wanted painting if stolen

Only thing I can think of
Superfacts
Practical Value = Zero $
"Materialism-an attachment to physical goods beyond their practical value-was a trap; a chain to ensnare the foolish with their own greed" --> Darth Bane
How was Jesus so pale walking through that damn desert everyday
He had umbrella to cover him from the sun I hope this makes sense if not go back to your question then seek answer.
Well first of all.... white people are still white in Southern Europe and the America’s.
Ushsh SHhs and have high % of skin cancer. Christ couldn’t have been white because he was of Shem bloodline. Shem and Ham descendants were often mistaken for one another. Ham is the father of dark black races. Let that sink in .
Jesus was black
This isn’t Jesus Christ, this is the prophet Mohammed, and he wore a white veil covering his face... no one ever saw how he looked like... all religions are fragments of Islam...
Why should anyone own such a historical painting?! It should stay in a museum.
Cleopatra Starseed money.
There are probably many paitings of da vinci like that
Its in the louvre
Well, if museum can affort to pay 450 million for it, I agree then it should stay in museum.
Because it’s still private party idiot!
What's their refund policy ?
omfggoogle 30 day returns pay extra fee and shipping and handling
28 days upon receipt
omfggoogle no refund once sold

You can return it but there is a 25% restocking fee
Pip Pipster lol that would be the worlds record for most expensive restocking fee 😂

Magnificent painting by Leonardo Da Vinci and so very rare. There are less than 20 paintings in existence by Leonardo Da Vinci. It should be displayed in a museum.
having studied art history over 50 yrs i say it is NOT JESUS no halo no angels no crucifix, a self portrait, as artist n scientist. crystal ball a tool used by artists who discovered theory of perspective n theory of optical function in brain. his fingers point to the sky n stars suggesting his, pre-Galileo theory of sun centered universe. not a ''religious man, he invented war machines to use against Vatican Army who invaded his home city Milan
u need more engrish
It’s displayed at the Louvre Abu Dhabi
Yara Mery very good points.
This belongs in a garbage
Forget the news title for the thumbnail. This clip of this man beautifully articulating what set made Leonardo so great. Detailing the aspects in Da Vinci's execution of his artistic craft was indeed a masterclass. No high brow critique, but spoken from his heart and pure admiration that broke it down to someone who never had it explained in such a way.
When I see a Da Vinci painting, for a second, I sometimes forget that this used to be a white canvas.
It's cool that you remembered that you forgot to remember.
White Canvases didn't exist in his time, This painting was painted on a walnut wood panel.
Kim Jong-Un That’s nice to know!

Sometimes when i see a printed poster i forget that it used to be a white paper
And that white paper used to be wood at some point
Money laundering
rurutu M No. Money laundering paintings sell for half to one million dollars. This is way more than anyone could afford. Tax alone would kill motive to launder that much money in one purchase.
It could be money laundering alright. The way I see it, the purchaser is not foolish enough to waste his huge fortune on a mere painting. It is bought as an "investment", an "asset" to store your wealth into, that you can sell later on at much much higher price. Very much like gold: its practical value is nonexistent, but it is valuable as an asset and investment. And you might ask, what makes a thing so valuable yet so useless? The answer is in human emotion: the thing must be seen as "divine", it is romanticized so highly, venerated like a holy-grail, and it must be so mighty rare. Remember in Napoleon's reign, Aluminum was way more expensive than Gold, because it was a novelty metal back then. If your wealth is stored in paper money, it may devaluate (inflation) in a blink of an eye (remember in Germany post WW1, huge stacks of money were more valuable burned as a heater, than stored as wealth).
Zen RD...Not to mention that the previous owner was Russian and his money is now clean. They can keep flipping it amongst themselves to clean even more ill gotten gains.
Angel Gutierrez they tax things like this?? Weird
Zen RD Wow! You would be an interesting person to talk too I love history & I never knew that aluminium was worth more then gold at a point in time. Why was this?? Also didn't know about paper money having no value as well in WW1 very interesting would be cool to briefly
Explain these too me please 😊
"What Made The Da Vinci Painting Worth $450 million?"
Da Vinci himself
quality art + powerful marketing
If only Leonardo knew how big his legacy would be
Better that he didnt, if he did he might not have created such amazing paintings or in the otger hand he might have went even harder in his work
He was immensely famous at the time ,he lived with the king of France, he was hailed in his time as the greatest mind in the world.
Yes
I’m sure he’d be proud some Arab prince is using $400,000,000 to take this as a tourism investment
@@aurockscastillo5460 Yup. Even the Christendom's most holiest and powerful ruler among monarchs in Europe, the Roman Pope was eager for him to paint more along with Michelangelo(and sculpt) to create legacy for the Western civilisation and as for humanity.
Guess what? Da vinci and other Italian renaissance painters/artists are praised until today after more than 500 years ago.
The art is just amazing for a 500 year old painting. But 450 mil for it is just freaking crazy.
It was completely overpainted during the "restoration".
If it cost 1$ the time it was made, it would be worth more than 400 million just by inflation. Leaving aside it's impotance.
@@peace7359 You're absurdly overstating inflation. To give you context, $1 in 1880 was worth $27.33 in today's money when adjusted for inflation.
@@2011blueman 1880 was 1880, this painting was painted in 1500. The Renaissance time.
@@2011blueman To clear the doubt, I thought it wasn't worth 400 mil too but afterwards I read a article about it being sold at a discount, I read it and was blown away. The currency was of the time was florin and 1 florin could buy 20 goats , 50 pound cheese, 200 dresses, 10 cows and many many more. Now 1 florin is almost 1 dollar. And 1 florin in 1800 is over 400 million now.

The artists description of the Da Vinci painting was flawless. Well Spoken
I think the buyer and who is talking are Christians 🤔
Actually it was hilarious because this painting had been completely overpainted during "restoration" so when he said no one but da vinci could paint the hair it make me spit out my tea from laughing.
@@2011blueman the restorer only salvaged it from all the damage it has gone through. She only brought back what was there. Where it floored her was when she could not shade the lips in such a way in all her knowledge. Only one person who was known for his dimensional shading to look so life like from his knowledge of human anatomy. Not even his apprentices Could do have done that.
@@MijoShrek That is beyond absurd. You've clearly bought into the bullshit.
@@2011blueman yeah I like her work,It's not some great Cabal, lol. I have no vested interest, just cool story and come on it's the legacy of Da Vinci. Mundi is awesome. I usually never gave a crap about art. But the explanation by this guy in the video was articulation gave me some sort of breakthrough to look at things differently. The beauty in that. The rest, eh. Be a good story for a dan brown novel maybe, lol.

Watching the image for long time made me realize that is the ultimate level of perfection, a feeling of overwhelming happiness invades through the screen into my eyes.
High-end art market is commonly used by people who want to hide assets with a shady history, or in other words, it's money laundering. I do love this painting and da Vinci, though. Certainly better than anything produced in the last 100 years of art.
Every time i see a LDV painting being explained, i become increasingly in awe of that man. He's truly a divine soul blessed with a special touch from god.
Somehow I wish great art like these remained for the public
Yeah, sadly a lot of billionaire private owners. This work belongs in one of the museums with the other Leonardo works, maybe in the Louvre.
Can’t bro , there’s so many thieves .
Thank god a lot does. Support your museums. The Met especially. Great place.
Unfortunately the public destroys things, it’s better off with someone who understands it’s value and will maintain it for future generations.
This is not great art.

the funny thing is that its true
Well amen to that🙏
in 50 years time, you would have died and your 450 million belongs to someone else!!
It's really worth the price if one takes into account that recently a awful painting by Basquiat was sold for $110.5 million.
honestly don’t know how you look at that Basquiat and call it awful..I’ll never justify any price for any art but calling it awful is in bad taste. But it’s all opinion after all.
Good investment. In the future this will be selling for double or triple the price. Art will never go out of style and people who appreciate art will pay a lot of money for rare art pieces.
"In the future" I hope I can afford dinner !

There are several fascinating points in this video, but the most arresting of all is how faithfully the artist has managed to reproduce the Brazilian accent of my apartment building superintendent.
Why would Christ be holding a crystal ball?
It's called art. Deal with it
susi q its not Christ most of his "religious" paintings are actually something else disguised as religious, he was not religious but if he said it they probably wouldve killed him
Because why not.
I think the crystal ball is supposed to symbolize the world. The painting is called Salvator Mundi which is Latin for "Savior of the World".
we live in a Snow Globe
What’s the point of buying an authentic Da Vinci painting representing the FALSE image of Christ. That man that you see in the painting is Cesare Borgia, his father Rodrigo de Borgia also known as Pope Alexander VI decided that the representation of Christ needed a modern day makeover. So he hired Da Vinci to paint multiple paintings of his son Cesare Borgia and send them all across the world. I’m sorry ladies and gentlemen but Da Vinci was a small pawn in a much larger game. Don’t believe me? Look it up and decide for yourselves.
Sean Gacevic true
Sean Gacevic fue, da Vinci used models for his paintings
Da Vinci never worked for pope Alexander the VIth, he worked personally as a war engineer for Cesare Borgia . He was hired by Cesare while Leonardo was still in Florence and he was only commissioned to draw maps and make innovative war machines for Cesare's wars. And the story of the so called fake image of Christ which is in fact the figure of Cesare is a completely nonsense. There are many representations of the Christ before the reign of Pope Alexander in 1492 from the beginning of 14th century or even 13th century. Moreover the western depiction of the Christ in art is originated in the eastern part from the Byzantine empire where the Christ is shown again with long hair and white skin. And i don't say that because i believe that Jesus looked exactly like that , because i don't , but that story with Cesare and the modern representation is so overused by people that it has become annoying . The explanation for the Christ traditional look is that in the beginning of the Middle Ages the wise men and the important people of a community used to have long hair so the first christians could't imagine Jesus in another way than looking like the wise men of their time.
This is one of the most amazing paintings I have ever seen!!!
How he paint the crystal ball? 100's years ago
@@samuelherman4859 to me, he is the most extraordinary human that ever lived!
He literally ONLY painted the curls of hair the rest was his apprentice.. also most of this has been destroyed and painted over by random owners over the years too. In 1908 they found it with a mustache and painted over half the face

There is no human figure in any picture by Leonardo in which the head is perfectly aligned with the torso and shoulders. He always gave their figures some slight tilt or turning to make them more interesting. If this is a work by Leonardo then it is a anomaly, a singular exception. Although I must admit that other features (mainly the style) really look Leonardo's.
we have more than 8 copies of the Da vinci salvator Mundi, and in all of them, the position is the same
Amazing how the artist did the hair curls, such good detail
So I need to watch 11 hours of the Muller report and 3 mins of a Da Vinci painting? Thanks 😒
What Made The Da Vinci Painting Worth $450 Million?
*The Auctioneer*
Honestly, it’s a rare of a kind. I think it’s abit absurd, I would have purchase one of Leonardo’s codex instead, but this painting is probably more rare since it’s never been seen in all of the public eye for the past 100th of years. Remember Leonardo was around the late mid 1400s died in early 1500s. All I am saying is that the price is well worth it, but it’s significance compare to other works are not up to par. No doubt this piece have some good technicality to it. In terms of art.
those CODEX, most were destroyed at time of roman inquistion time...NOT JESUS no halo no angels no crucifix, a self portrait, as artist n scientist. crystal ball a tool used by artists who discovered theory of perspective n theory of optical function in brain. his fingers point to the sky n stars suggesting his, pre-Galileo theory of sun centered universe. not a ''religious man, he invented war machines to use against Vatican Army who invaded his home city Milan
Before you speak, get your grammar right. I know he produced war machines, he only did it to find work. Remember that Leo bounced around from one patron to the next painting was not a stabilize income. Your theory about this whole crystal ball tool; I honestly, have no idea what you are talking about. Religion has many symbolism and iconography. You know that Leonardo, supported and ushered many of the way how people think, specifically science. I honest, think that Leonardo knew the sun was centered was a inhibit because of the technology at the time. You can say that Copernicus and Kepler helped ushered that thought. It was until the invention of telescope and different type of glass helped people to look beyond the stars. Most of his codex may have been lost as the result of time, invasion etc. Romans was way way before the Italian Renaissance and the dark ages. In the end, you don't know most of the type period, its a mere speculations. I have read many books on Leonardo's life time. I understand that your getting at that Man discovered many of the science today, which is honestly true and was not a divine gift of thought.
Really is a beautiful painting.
It Sold For 400 Million!!! NOT 450! Why are all these videos on UA-cam saying 450???
50 Million for buyer‘s premium

To the charities all around the world to help with world hunger.
was he the one that got it for less than a 100 bucks?
Where does the money go when you buy anything? The person selling it... lmao
20 painting a lifetime . I only have 3. I need to start auctioning mine.
It isn't more about the painting itself but Da Vinci. His genius and his works. His masterpieces are limited and owning one of them is probably one of the biggest achievements in life.
What the painting sold for is its purchase price, not necessarily what it's worth. Most of the time the purchase price and the market value are equivalent, but there are instances when that is not accurate. All of us have seen the last two bidders for a piece competing with each other to the bitter end. You have to look at where most of the bids ranged not necessarily the last offer. You also have to look at Da Vinci's and his contemporaries bodies of work as this sale may be an outlier and not representative of market value.
The problem with overpaying for art is that it is unlikely to come back onto the market until market prices rise to where this painting is once more worth selling. That could be a very, very long time. Eventually, like all things in life, the painting will come to market either by this buyer or their estate.
It would have been nice to see the actual painting as it is like a bridge in time between you and the artist but I can live with photos and reproductions.
To the buyer. Enjoy it with your friends as it is an amazing piece of art. As with all art, no one really owns it, we are just one of many custodians through time.
that 1 decimal place of $3m just mean nothing anymore.
Thats both the creepiest and coolest painting I’ve ever seen
Conclusion :

It's called sfumato idiot!A technique that he invented!
November 11, 2021 - The catalogue for a recently opened Leonardo da Vinci exhibition at the Prado Museum in Madrid states this should not be considered a masterpiece solely by the artist. According to an exhibition description, this 'is the result of an ambitious research project which the Prado undertook in parallel and in collaboration with other international institutions, such as the Musée du Louvre, the Molecular Archaeology Laboratory at the Sorbonne and the National Gallery, London'. The exhibition’s accompanying catalogue groups a number of works by Leonardo and his circle into two sections: 'by Leonardo' and 'attributed works, workshop, or authorized and supervised by Leonardo' and puts in the latter category. Oops.
The painting clearly looks like the work of Leonardo's student, and young lover, Gian Giacomo Caprotti da Oreno, better known as Salaì. Anyone who knows Salai's work, can immediately see his hand here!
Leonardo helped him.
Then why did the kings of England have it down as Boltraffio?
