La obra salió a la luz en 2005 y es considerada el redescubrimiento artístico más grande del siglo XXI. La pintura "de la figura más icónica del mundo, del artista más importante de todos los tiempos", dijo uno de los expertos a cargo de la obra

Christie's anunció que subastará el 15 de noviembre "Salvator Mundi", el último cuadro en manos privadas del genio renacentista Leonardo da Vinci, del cual se conocen menos de 20 pinturas y por el cual espera obtener unos 100 millones de dólares.

La obra, de 65 cm por 45 cm, un óleo pintado aproximadamente en el año 1500 y que ha sido restaurado, presenta a Jesús como salvador del mundo, de medio cuerpo y de frente, con togas fluidas en carmesí y lapislázuli.

Un tercer involucrado ha ofrecido una garantía sobre el cuadro, lo cual significa que pase lo que pase, el 15 de noviembre será vendido en el entorno de los 100 millones de dólares, explicó el martes a la AFP François de Poortere, responsable de cuadros antiguos en Christie's de Nueva York.

"Salvator Mundi es una pintura de la figura más icónica en el mundo, del artista más importante de todos los tiempos. La oportunidad de ofrecer esto al mercado es un honor que llega solo una vez en la vida", dijo Loic Gauzer, experto en arte de postguerra y contemporáneo de Christie's en Nueva York.

La obra "fue pintada en la misma época que la Mona Lisa, con la que tiene una similitud de composición patente. Leonardo era una fuerza creativa incomparable, y un maestro del enigma. Cuando uno se para frente a estas pinturas, es imposible para la mente descifrar o comprender totalmente el misterio que irradia de ellas. Tanto la Mona Lisa como Salvator Mundi son ejemplos de esto", añadió.

La obra será expuesta en Hong Kong, San Francisco y Londres, antes de regresar a Nueva York pocos días antes de la puja.

La primera vez que la pintura fue registrada, pertenecía a la colección del rey británico Carlos I (1600-1649). Luego fue vendida en 1763 por el hijo ilegítimo del duque de Buckingham cuando el palacio de Buckingham fue vendido al rey.

El cuadro desapareció luego hasta 1900, cuando fue comprado como si fuese una obra de un seguidor de Leonardo, Bernardino Luini. Su autoría original y su historia real ya habían sido olvidadas, y la cara y el cabello de Cristo habían recibido otras capas de pintura. En 1958, fue vendido en una subasta en Sotheby's por 45 libras esterlinas.

La pintura volvió a desaparecer casi 50 años, y reapareció en 2005, cuando fue comprado por un coleccionista europeo -su dueño actual, que se mantiene en el anonimato- a un grupo estadounidense en una pequeña subasta regional. Siguieron seis años de minuciosa investigación para documentar que era realmente un Leonardo.

En 2011, su presentación al público en la exposición "Leonardo da Vinci: pintor en la corte de Milán" en la Galería Nacional de Londres causó sensación.

Por otro lado, la obra "Sixty Last Suppers" (Sesenta últimas cenas), del pintor estadounidense Andy Warhol, que representa 60 veces "La última cena" de Da Vinci, será vendido en la misma noche del 15 de noviembre. Su precio es estimado en 50 millones de dólares.

La obra es considerada uno de los mejores ejemplares de la última serie de pinturas del célebre artista estadounidense, fue pintado por Warhol un año antes de muerte -en febrero de 1987- y tiene cerca de 10 metros de largo.

"'Sixty Last Suppers' es una indiscutible pieza magistral del último periodo de Warhol. Estar delante de este lienzo monumental, el espectador se adentra totalmente en la visión de Leonardo, pero desde los ojos de Andy Warhol", explicó el representante de Christie's, Alex Rotter.

    • It appears to me that this is a key aspect of the 2030 initiative ideology. While the Rothschilds were indeed influential individuals who were able to sway governments, much like present-day billionaires, the true impetus for change stems from the omnipotent forces (Satan) shaping our world. In this case, there is a false God of this world. However, what drives action within a political framework? Power! What is unfolding before our eyes in today's world? The relentless struggle for power. The overwhelming tide of people rising. We cannot underestimate the direct and sinister influence of Satan in all of this. However, it is up to individuals to decide how they choose to worship God. Satanism, as a form of religion, cannot be regarded as a true religion. Consequently, just as ancient practices of child sacrifice had a place in God's world, such sacrifices would never be accepted by the True God of our universe. Despite the promising 2030 initiative for those involved, it is unfortunately disintegrating due to the actions of certain individuals in positions of authority. A recent incident serves as a glaring example, involving a conflict between peaceful Muslims and a Jewish representative that unfolded just this week. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/mar/11/us-delegation-saudi-arabia-kippah?ref=upstract.com Saudi Arabia was among the countries that agreed to the initiative signed by approximately 179 nations in or around 1994. However, this initiative is now being undermined by the devil himself, who is sowing discord among the delegates due to the ongoing Jewish-Hamas (Palestine) conflict. Fostering antisemitism. What kind of sacrifice does Satan accept with the death of babies and children in places like Gaza, Ukraine, and other conflicts around the world, whether in the past or present, that God wouldn't? Whatever personal experiences we may have had with well-known individuals, true Christians understand that current events were foretold long ago, and nothing can prevent them from unfolding. What we are witnessing is the result of Satan's wrath upon humanity, as was predicted. A true religion will not involve itself in the politics of this world, as it is aware of the many detrimental factors associated with such engagement. It understands the true intentions of Satan for this world and wisely chooses to stay unaffected by them.
    • This idea that Satan can put Jews in power implies that God doesn't want Jews in power. But that would also imply that God only wants "Christians" including Hitler, Biden, Pol Pot, Chiang Kai-Shek, etc. 
    • @Mic Drop, I don't buy it. I watched the movie. It has all the hallmarks of the anti-semitic tropes that began to rise precipitously on social media during the last few years - pre-current-Gaza-war. And it has similarities to the same anti-semitic tropes that began to rise in Europe in the 900's to 1100's. It was back in the 500s AD/CE that many Khazars failed to take or keep land they fought for around what's now Ukraine and southern Russia. Khazars with a view to regaining power were still being driven out into the 900's. And therefore they migrated to what's now called Eastern Europe. It's also true that many of their groups converted to Judaism after settling in Eastern Europe. It's possibly also true that they could be hired as mercenaries even after their own designs on empire had dwindled.  But I think the film takes advantage of the fact that so few historical records have ever been considered reliable by the West when it comes to these regions. So it's easy to fill the vacuum with some very old antisemitic claims, fables, rumors, etc..  The mention of Eisenhower in the movie was kind of a giveaway, too. It's like, Oh NO! The United States had a Jew in power once. How on earth could THAT have happened? Could it be . . . SATAN??" Trying to tie a connection back to Babylonian Child Sacrifice Black Magick, Secret Satanism, and Baal worship has long been a trope for those who need to think that no Jews like the Rothschilds and Eisenhowers (????) etc would not have been able to get into power in otherwise "Christian" nations without help from Satan.    Does child sacrifice actually work to gain power?? Does drinking blood? Does pedophilia??? (also mentioned in the movie) Yes, it's an evil world and many people have evil ideologies based on greed and lust and ego. But how exactly does child sacrifice or pedophilia or drinking blood produce a more powerful nation or cabal of some kind? To me that's a giveaway that the authors know that the appeal will be to people who don't really care about actual historical evidence. Also, the author(s) of the video proved that they have not done much homework, but are just trying to fill that supposed knowledge gap by grasping at old paranoid and prejudicial premises. (BTW, my mother and grandmother, in 1941 and 1942, sat next to Dwight Eisenhower's mother at an assembly of Jehovah's Witnesses. The Eisenhower family had been involved in a couple of "Christian" religions and a couple of them associated with IBSA and JWs for many years.)
