A row has broken out after a new documentary on the world s most expensive painting, the
Salvator Mundi, claimed that the Musée du Louvre doubted the painting s attribution
as a 100% autograph work by Leonardo da Vinci. Although the museum has not publicly commented on the film s assertions, an unpublished booklet on the Louvre s scientific examination of the painting has been leaked to several media outlets, contradicting the film s conclusions.
In the film,
The Savior for Sale, broadcast on French television tonight, two anonymous officials in French President Emmanuel Macron’s government make the claims that the Louvre questioned the attribution.
