An investigative documentary that chronicles the discovery, authentication, and global auction saga of Salvator Mundi, a painting long attributed to Leonardo da Vinci. The film follows art dealers, scholars, and museum curators as competing experts debate attribution, provenance, and the painting's extraordinary price. Through archival footage and candid interviews, The Lost Leonardo exposes the fragility of connoisseurship in the contemporary art market and the murky ethics of fame, money, and possession.
