- Art dealer Robert Simon and his colleague Alexander Parish bought a painting by an unknown artist in 2005. Simon then asked his friend Dianne Modestini to restore it. Her work on the piece eventually led to the discovery that it was Leonardo da Vinci's "Salvator Mundi," and helped her through one of the hardest times in her life.

I really hope, all the Leonardo paintings get together one day.
Wait, I thought Michaelangelo was the party dude?
@@DavidMcCoul I think its a reunion though
@Güliz
There was an exhibition at the National Gallery in London with 9 of his 16 surviving paintings.
In Italy porco giuda
Same.
She emanates the same spirit as the painting she's describing as if the soul of the painting helped her through her grief. Beautiful and very moving.
So beautifully said
I'm Shure a huge amount of money💰 helped her feel better 🖼️
@@jas5192 The painting is not Leo's. According to the experts, it's a really bad painting done by one of his student and then retouched again by this lady. It's a hodgepodge piece of utter mess.
@@kazearaki853 Appreciate the information! I didn't know.
The best marketing campaign is revealed when nobody understands this is the revealing of the marketing campaign.
Aww, the way she speaks about her late husband, it sounds like he was her soulmate.
Well, he is her life's partner after all
It belongs in a museum.
It will be in Abu Dhabi Louvre after its private tour i heard
Ah somebody didn’t get the reference.
Indiana Jones
So do my arms.
I watched 'The Lost Leonardo' and one thing struck me that Dianne is forever more haunted by The Salvator Mundi. She said it never leaves her and I came away feeling sad for her. I personally believe that some areas have Leonardo's autograph, the lips for example and I hope I live long enough to see this sublime painting in the flesh.
Leonardo Di Caprio was so talented
R u really serious...?

Even 450 million is nothing infront of this work , this painting is priceless
It’s not a definitive fact that is was by Leonardo himself
It's fake you fool, a blind man could see that!
Exactly. Priceless. Sacred. I will dare to say, this painting is holy, as if painted by an angel assigned by God to create this great masterpiece. Painted by a student, or da Vinci, or a consummation of a divinely inspired Conservator? The painting is divine, we can clearly see that. It inspires awe, the sight of it. Seeing it has transformed me, and my ideas as a practicing artist, about the role divinity may actually play in the revelation of itself, through human excellence, on the part of an exalted artist, and beyond the artist, the greatest Conservator honored to restore the work, and bring it back to life, as perhaps never before. The level of sublimity demonstrated in it's highest degree, by the Conservator, so generous and eloquent, to share with us her loss. We who love and devote our lives to a deep love of beauty will know in seeing this work, how much it is about the pricelessness it holds as a true value. The divine, spiritual quality of this work is staggering. We may never see this kind of 'imprint of the divine' ever again, to such a degree in a work of art. It outshines the Mona Lisa, for me it certainly does. It reminds me of a possible reiteration. The hand of God or angel reaching to touch the hand of man, although, in this case it is a woman whose hand was blessed. The grand master artisan who created this holy work of art? Above all, the Conservator, divinely inspired, and empowered to deliver such great beauty. From one perspective, it makes no difference if only the barest bit of the under painting or initial drawing was created by Leonardo da Vinci. The historical weight Leonardo's name carries, is only one aspect of the divinity of this painting questionable though it may be. It is significant to a high degree, but obviously, the painting is a hybrid of influences, and several people may have or did in fact build on its greatness. A woman's hand restored this work to an ultimate perfection, as your sublime video here shows. A woman in deep grief, who shows what we can see and feel and know, a reflection of the sacred in our inner being, reflects back to us through this work so obviously inspired by God and or his angels. Her hand, inspired by an angel, the spirit of da Vinci, a student who contributed, or God the Almighty? How rare is it to see and recognize a miracle of what feels like it transmits an element of the divine, if ever one gets to see a painting so magnificent? To learn of the many associated details, explained in this video, and to witness for oneself the sublimity of this painting, is to experience an inner elevation in the viewer. The painting crosses cyberspace, and our over to those watching. Doe s it not penetrate and elevates the viewer in some uniquely spiritual way? No matter the auction price, now or tomorrow. Beyond that, no matter the artist or group of artists and handlers, only the final outcome which is self evident. and sublime, and which catches the viewer unprepared. We experience the revelation and miracle of seeing this magnificent and holy work of art, and we will likely feel humbled, as I surely was. Thank you, for this miracle of what I believe is God's hand on the hand of this divinely inspired Conservator. She has delivered to the world, a great, grand treasure, and a blessing to the world. Bravo, and Brava! Thank you for your marvelous and blessed presentation as well. 🙏💐🥂🙏💐🥂
@@JoyceDade it is definitely a beautiful painting 🖼
da vinci: i see a pure art
art collector: i see $$$
Business is business my friend
Dianne said something in this video, that still convince me that it’s painted by Leonardo himself. I have tried to paint several paintings of da Vinci, and for some reason, the lips are impossible to paint. Her retouching went great, but she confronts the lips. And she said it. Like I had said it.. only Leonardo could have painted it..
She spent six years on it.
Leonardo is the hardest artist to emulate I’ve found. Picasso and Van Gogh being much easier.
@@chris42690 what about Dalí? I’m curious
@@SebastianLopez-nh1rr Dali is quite difficult to emulate aswell. A lot of his 3D strokes are out of my wheelhouse. I would love to learn how to someday though.
This video was 55 minutes too short.
Modestini is a genius. Thank goodness it was given to her to restore! x
when she restores, she touches up and paints on it herself so does that make it 100% legit.
@@MrRocktex1978 Yes as she uses as they all do reversible paints on top of a sealed layer to protect the original.
She made this look nothing like a de vinci!
@@RehabProjectSRCB Oh, that's great to hear. I thought she had irreversibly destroyed the entire painting by having used oil. Hopefully the whole thing will soon be taken to someone competent who will be able to reanimate the Leonardo's spirit and remove everything that makes this Salvator Mundi final version an insulting and hideous travesty of the original that once had been. artwatch.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/a-pic-7.jpg
Thank you for providing us with a color image before restoration. Ms Modestini’s sharing about her husband’s guidance is touching.
tremendous meaning behind the words of her story. her choice of diction along with detailed experiences of the emotions she felt, and her candor describing her conversations with a painting shows us the power that the piece had to her.
Someone like her deserves to own this painting, she’s fallen in love with it for the right reasons. Not someone just throwing their money at it. What a shame.
Agreed with her that is should belong to the museum..no amount of money could have it.
Caviteña ElskerEuropa a museum would have had to participated in the auction as well
Long lost painting just happened to turn up in Louisiana. I'm going to check my closet. Might be a few long lost masterpieces there that nobody noticed before now.
If you find anything call me, I will restore :)
It was my aunt and uncle who had it in there home for almost 60 years.... there are in heaven now and are probably giggling with glee that they had owned this. Maybe they are giving Leonardo a high five up in heaven. Sad, however, that when my cousins sold this in the estate sale, they had no idea what it was......obviously...... they got about 2k for it....

What’s the point in lying like this?
She’s gonna be upset when she finds out who bought it
Who did?

@@whut9245 whut?
Yeah king salman bought it
Nope,
MBS crown prince of Saudi Arabia.
During the 80s there was a documentary about the mona lisa where they were allowed to show close ups of the mona lisa and the expert shows da vinci used his fingers to mix paint and create textures on the painting. Da vinci’s print were all over it. He said “that is better than a signature”
So now i am wondering when they try to authenticate it that they couldn’t find any prints on the salvatore mundi.
I am a total art addict ❤ its sooths my soul .
There's just too much money and fame to be made from declaring this a work of the Grand Master himself that it casts an unfortunate shadow of doubt over all those involved with it's restoration, sale, auction and display. It's a shame as I actually like this painting regardless of the authenticity.
@ Andy Huang , I'm thinking this was a well thought out Scam 💰
Well, it sorta IS Leonardo, just not in the shape and form as it were ''restored'' into. Look at the cleaned version, the modelling and realistic features of the painting are excellent, albeit there are significant damages. Modestini gave the picture an artificial cartoonish 2D appearance, that can no longer be called a Leonardo by any stretch of imagination..
Well As it has been confirmed through Research and Historic notes, History books and all the Experts that has spend a lifetime studying the tiniest method and tiny deviations of Leonardo DaVinci.
I think I'm gonna trust the Evidence presented and the experts.
And not some random Painters on CZcams, That has some valid Trust issue with Authorities about something that was sold for 400Million USD.
@@DanielJackson2010 So you have seen it in person, You must have since you can speak with such authority on the issue.
Oh Also what are your credentials in restoring Paintings from the 1500 century?
Because your assessment of the picture and lifetime devotion to restoration, must be at the level as Modestini that restored the Painting.
@@commonsense31 Which part of Modestini's Homunculus Mundi carnage of a restoration project you love the most? Put the Modestini version side by side with the cleaned and raw Salvator Mundi and tell me you prefer the Homunculus. Then, I will have no more to say. ;)
Dianne Modestini did not restore this painting. She repainted 80-90% of it. There is also no provenance or documentation proving that this painting is truly by Leonardo or that it was ever owned by any royalty. If you want to know the full story of this painting, read The Last Leonardo by Ben Lewis and judge for yourself whether or not this painting is what the vested interests claim it to be.
That is no de vinci, just look at it! Even a amateur can see that
Okay, What documentation went into then validating the Painting as a Leonardo DaVinci?
@@commonsense31 There was no documentation whatsoever in declaring this painting to be a DaVinci. Two things were done - First, there was a visual examination by DaVinci experts in both the US and Europe who deemed the painting to be authentic based on style and on quality. Second, an analysis was done on the paint, canvas, and wood frame to date the painting to the 16th century and trace the origin of the materials used to northern Italy. Those checked out but of course an exact date couldn't be given. The painting could have been done later in the 16th century after DaVinci's death. Now do you think those alone are good enough to prove authenticity of a painting done by a master that could be worth tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars? Given the monies involved, there was certainly an incentive to declare this painting to be genuine.
~Beautiful~Painting~
Dianne Dwyer Modestini I absolutely love what you can do!
Such a sad thing to watch knowing where the painting is now🙃😢😢
No one else could have painted it.....she did! Lots of touch up repainting.
Art Conservators are all historians, performance artists and extremely intellectual thinkers…they are so constrained by the original artist’s style, so much so that they must meticulously study it and become familiar enough with it to mimic it as closely as possible while taking the _correct_ creative liberties where the canvas is far too damaged to really know what the original artist did…I can’t begin to say how much respect I have for them…
Thank you, good lady.
amen fine art
Raji Jojo amen
Finding out it's not DaVinci? PRICELESS....
exquisite masterpiece - classic Leonardo with the androgynous presentation and face of sublime beauty - the solid dark background is a masterful choice as salvation is about divine light coming into the darkness to dissolve that darkness once and for all
How are you so sure of your words?
true knowing comes from a realm of true perfection...in this perfect realm, knowing what is true is both immediate and direct...it is a function of the divine heart...one does not have to engage in the thought processes of the mind....the divine heart reads energy....the information is all in the energy of a thing....what is true has an energetic frequency of truth...of course, this is something which we all possess...sadly, i have found few people on this planet that have managed to untangle themselves from all the illusions to function as the divine being they truly are...however, there are now more cracks in the dam, so to speak...the rushing river of light will not be held back much longer
Sure, good life pal-
you are perfect...and that's the perfection Leonardo is showing you in this painting...look into the painting with the eyes of your heart and you will see your perfect divine self

la pintora que restauraron es ES LA del mérito máximo en la vida#1 después Leonardo David desde Tijuana México.
i love her voice
Andreas Houg, same here, it almost makes me fall asleep
In the doc, note how Dianne looks down and away from the camera when discussing her compensation. She fully admits she helped to promote the painting as being a Leonardo and essentially wanted to get paid for championing the attribution. People like to romanticize the integrity of folks who claim to love something, but anthropologically speaking, why would she be any different than everyone else who saw an opportunity? The two concepts of love and greed are not mutually exclusive, of course, but behavioural science does expose our complex but true nature.
THX
it a wonder of the world... and VERY very good work
I wonder if insurance companies offer policies for artwork authenticity ? I can’t imagine someone spending that much money on a piece of art that has soo much skepticism ! I guess either way you look at it has become one of the most recognized paintings of all time no matter who actually painted it which makes it very valuable. Beaty is in the eye of the beholder
The build up to legitimise the sudden found battered painting is absolutely disgusting.
What is disgusting is the original owners only got $700 after the dealers bought online for $1200 and immediately assigned Martin Kemp to ble$$ the battered plank.
Literally major inCONsistencies in provenance and the attribution is very controversial.
The Pentimento theory or thumb duplicate is a classic forgers trick.
Any decent forger would know how to manipulate a close inspection.
Beltracci did brillaint fakes for years as Sothebys continued to sell his works via dealers.
Carlos Slim was sold multiple fakes of Modigliani and other works with the authentication validated by multiple experts.
The Mundi is just another Delusion for The Masses.
The Modestini Mega Makeover ensued without any disclosure or scrutiny.
Apparently there are no physical HD pre 2005 photos.
In other words there is no evidence to view any microbial aspects or deduce chronology to cross examine.
Modestini jazzed it up over 4+ painstaking years whilst at the same time it's public profile was
glorified by Martin Kemp who happens to be the convenient Da Vinci armchair academic expert.
Martin Kemp single handedly started to process of instigating and planted the seed to suggest there is a possibility
of the hand of Da Vinci (without providing ANY EVIDENCE to support the sudden theory)
This Mundi saga was to appease 'The Bouvier Affair' as Sothebys were about to get brought to task for back to back Art Flipping.
What is hilarious is The Arabs would actually buy a 'Controversial Christ.'
Even Judas must be giggling.!!
The Saudis bought it to
SLAP DOWN their little irritating nemesis 'Qatar' whom are currently as Sovereign World Art Champions with Billions invested in Arts and Highest Profile World Record Prices paid for paintings.
Martin Kemp is a corrupt and vested interested entity. Ref. Bella Principessa.
He is a laughing stock in the Old Masters world but he is crucial to Museums as their balance sheets are dependent on footfall and merchandi$e.
Why do you think the ONLY ACCEPTED Da Vinci's are ONLY IN TOP END MUSEUMS !!!!
Martin Kemp & Cohorts Luke Syson and Nicholas Penny proceeded to glorify the Salvador Mundi via exhibiting it in
the UK National Gallery whilst other renowned experts with integrity didn't want their name bestowed with Da Vinci Artworld Corruption.
Incidentally, there are 4 copies of The Mona Lisa.
The original was stolen 1911 only for the retrieved replica reinstated at The Louvre whereby it was restolen
by The SS during WWII. The Louvre keep absolutely quiet about this.
I hate to tell you this but there is a lot more than just The Mundi Fraud.
Weird thing is that painting is now at the Louvre Abudhabi
This was 5 years ago and it is now 2023 and in 5 years there are more tools to examine paintings.
love x
Goodness gracious
Is it just me or does the Mona Lisa and Salvador Mundi, bear a sticking resemblance to one another. The same eyes soft eyes and same nose. If you super impose one over the other, they look suspiciously to be the same person.
The person is Leonardo in drag
Leonardo had a type.
@jay fine incorrect. the losses to the face were minimal.
They were painted by the sme person so yeah there is gong to be similarities.
@jay fine how much would the “same face curse” of artists impact the liking & restoration? i only ask bc you seem to know a lot on the subject
To declare this attempted restoration can be attributed as a original da vinci is a absolute disgrace, then to say that the restoration mistakes are some how a stroke of genius of his hand, doing so rewriting art history just compounds the insult. The whole painting is off now and should have been left well alone after it was cleaned. How could this possibly be declared a original de vinci when even if geniuses played a part in his workshop paintings, they can only be described as such, let alone some 21st century restorer.
The Salvadore Mundi Abomination would be a better name for this piece .Biggest fraud in art history.
Some people think that she "wished" the painting into exsistence.
The crystal while accounted for historically, in the restored version is completely an embellishment. There is no way of knowing if it looked that way originally. The remainder is fairly close to what it probably looked like after initial completion by Da Vinci.
You can't replicate Leonardo da Vinci he was a genius. Painting onto his surviving work is sacrilege and shows no care for his work. deceit and destruction.
She is so lucky.
We've been duped. MBS created a fine uproar heard around the world. Him. The painting. We all know of it now. A mere drop in the bucket. I hope The Prince views Salvator Mundi with a loving taste in his mouth. (I hope it doesn't leave a bad taste in his mouth I should say) I deeply hope he enjoys it.
The painting was buggered when they found it, it’s had so much restoration done it’s basically a new work and the eyes are creepy.
whats the music??
Without money driving the conversation this is a love story of vast human reach. Pulling us in from all corners. With money alerting other interests it is a love story. Lovers of Love will know it either way. Human hands combined. The question - were they Leonardo's hands? Isn't all attention good attention regarding publicity? Have you seen what they've done in the desert? Art Installations. It's just magic. I hope there will be an opening. I hope I magically receive pre notice so I'm there for the unveiling. What a wonder.
Would we all know so much about this without price tag?
The Salvador Mundi is hauntingly beautiful.
WOW
When you amplified something so large and enormous....it became life itself.
This is maybe Bigger than the Madoff con of the 21st century!
Great work
Imagine Mr.Bean walking in the art room containing Salvator Mundi
He cant. No access

How sad. I bet she wanted to keep that painting for the memories. I know that's not really the point and I know nothing about art. I just hope that wasnt the last connection she felt she had, it would of been losing him again and not being able to stop it. For me a part of that painting will always be hers...jesus, I'm emotional today.
I feel for my cousins...it was in their home for almost 60 years. When they sold it in my uncle's estate sale, they obviously didn't know what they had.....
I would have loved to have had it. My cousins would have loved to have kept it, but not knowing what it was, she would have given it to me if I had asked her, for memory's sake.
It's not really finding Salvator Mundi. It's making Salvator Mundi worth 450million
Chinese can do it for about $100.00 dollars.
It's always about the money, not the painting. The art world is a funny group.
Turns out it's fake anyway
I cried. Lol
Dont worry, if you touch it once it will stay with you forever. Yes, a museum. 😊
Personally it think this painting is fake. The eyes are crooked, the hand that’s held up is off, there’s no blue color from the shirt between the thumb and finger. The reflection in the orb Is wrong. Leonardo would not have made these mistakes.
Regardless of the authenticity it’s very unfortunate that the painting is hidden in a private collection instead of a museum for everyone to see
One day this painting will be forgotten in history..
Yeah, right, a Da Vinci that popped out of nowhere, sold for 450 million and vanished in the haze... sounds like money laundering to me
Something close Mona lisa
Dianne Modestini's Salvator Mundi.
Is the crystal ball depicting a domed earth with 3 light sources... the sun, moon and stars ? Very interesting...
Alexander Reynolds no you idiot
One of leonardos younger scholars painted this
isnt 99 pct of Leos work with portraits in profile from the side?not head on?except for the Vetruvian man! "School of DaVinci" more like it!
Stop talking like a pretentious fool; it will color the entirety of your life..
Agreed, not a Leonardo, who's figures are always twisting and turning against the light. This is far too simple to be a Leonardo. However, I believe the facial features are impressive and may have been touched by the master himself. It has that hazy dream affect akin to the Mona Lisa.
Dear God no one has seen it since the Saudi Prince paid over four hundred million blood and oil dollars for it. It was supposed to be displayed in the (Abu Dhabi?) "Louvre" museum, but its arrival has been delayed multiple times with no answers given. ..

God for sale.
Daniel 7:9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of
days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head
like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels
as burning fire.
10 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand
thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood
before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
11 I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn
spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed,
and given to the burning flame.
12 As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken
away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time.
13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came
with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they
brought him near before him.
14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all
people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an
everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that
which shall not be destroyed.
Daniel 10:6 His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the
appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and
his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words
like the voice of a multitude.
Revelation 1:12
And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I
saw seven golden candlesticks;
13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of
man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps
with a golden girdle.
14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and
his eyes were as a flame of fire;
15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace;
and his voice as the sound of many waters.
"Cesare Borgia (Italian pronunciation: [ˈtʃeːzare ˈbɔrdʒa]; Catalan:
[ˈsɛzər ˈβɔrʒə]; Spanish: César Borja, [ˈθesar ˈβorxa]; 13 September
1475 [1] - 12 March 1507), Duke of Valentinois,[2] was an
Italian[3][4][5] condottiero, nobleman, politician, and cardinal, whose
fight for power was a major inspiration for The Prince by Machiavelli.
He was the illegitimate son of Pope Alexander VI (r. 1492-1503, born
Rodrigo Borgia) and his long-term mistress Vannozza dei Cattanei.
Borgia gained a reputation not only for effectiveness as a military
leader but for outright ruthlessness in the pursuit and maintenance of
power. Many believe he was the model for Niccolo Machiavelli's vision of
The Prince. Cesare Borgia briefly employed Leonardo da Vinci as
military architect and engineer between 1502 and 1503. Cesare provided
Leonardo with an unlimited pass to inspect and direct all ongoing and
planned construction in his domain.
A little known fact about Cesare Borgia is that, according to the French
writer Alexandre Dumas and others, his handsome appearance seems to
have influenced many images of Jesus Christ painted during and
subsequent to his career.
"It seems that the image of Jesus that many worship today is based on
Cesare Borgia’s likeness"
how many hours
Prefer it just cleaned. Now it’s a painting by the restorer.
It looks cross eyed 😵 now.
Did you know that many Art experts are debating if this was actually painted by Leonardo or not (they believe it was one of his students who actually painted this).... Loll... Good luck spending millions on that.

I already have a Da Vinci master painting. But Noone believes me...
she’s very skilled but think she’s too emotionally attached to the painting to do the right thing. It’s pretty clear now that it’s not a Leonardo and even if it was, it looked nothing like the original after she’d finished with it. I have a feeling her husband thought it might be an original, and she could never let that go.
Calma garota, so é uma pintura
Love for sale?
Unfortunately, the beauty of this painting is constantly overlooked other than its monetary value.
as an artist of 60 years masters in fine art from academy of art in san francisco Ive studied leonardo for most of my life.
there is no way he painted this .
and from what Ive seen of the condition it was in , broken in many pieces and heavily damaged with overpainting and bad restoration attempts , even if and and I say if this was done in his shop it was certainly not his work.
looking at his others paintings and drawings it just doesnt fit.
It's very very controversial as
The Salvator Mundi profile was enhanced to appease and settle the controversy.
Research *The Bouvier Affair*

It was sold for 80M then 127.5M.
Sothebys were about to get mega exposed for back to back Art dealing Flipping.
Bouvier had been fleecing Dmitry for years. 700M he fleeced in double dealing.
When the controversy happened and legal situations started - Christie's conveniently stepped in to stop any art world corruption exposure.
But NOW on a grand scale the false attribution, corruption and controversy continues.
What is hilarious is The Arabs would actually buy a 'Controversial Christ.'
Even Judas must be giggling.!! 🤣
@@daniyalg2436 the Arabs lost it...mmm... yes indeed. A painting of 450 Million... where did I put that again???mmm... hahahaha...It is obviously fake. And NO painting is worth 450 million... great for money laundering though...
@@daniyalg2436 youre are right. Especially the last part lol
The thing is if I owned the Painting.
I would Secretly install in Her Home with the best Security protections money could buy.
And I would let her keep it in her possession Secretly, So no one would know she had it.
The way she talked about the Painting, And the entire restoration and conversations with the painting as a way to remember her Husband.
I feel that it would only be the right and honorable thing to do, I could wait until she was no longer with us to have it personally.
Also Often these amazing work or art and History, are bought and just moved to a High security facility in a box. Until the next owner would sell his investment.
Because it is an investment, It sold for 400 Million in Auction.
That will be close to the starting price next time it comes up for auction.
People are forgetting she stood to gain if the painting turned out to be authentic. Of course she loved it and thought it was real. $$$ cha ching. And it pisses me off that she messed around with it and painted over it instead of taking it to an expert to have it examined. When she talks she spews lies. Anybody who understands body language can see that.
The problem with old painting like this is that they’ve had so much restoration work done to them that good parts of them aren’t the original artists work and that is something I can’t look past when I view them. It asked away some of the beauty for me atleast.
