Da vinci painting jesus sells record 450m

I think there may be some misinformation here!

Leonardo da Vinci's famous painting, "Salvator Mundi" (which means "Savior of the World" in Latin), is indeed a highly valuable and iconic artwork. However, it did not sell for a record-breaking $450 million.

In 2017, the painting was sold at a Christie's auction in New York for a staggering $450.3 million, setting a new record for the most expensive artwork ever sold at auction. This was a significant milestone, as it surpassed the previous record held by Willem de Kooning's "Woman III," which sold for $389 million in 2006.

It's worth noting that the buyer of the painting was anonymous, and the sale was made through a bidding process that lasted for several minutes. The buyer was reportedly a Saudi Arabian prince, but this has not been officially confirmed.

So, to summarize, the record-breaking sale of Leonardo da Vinci's "Salvator Mundi" was indeed for $450.3 million, not Jesus (who is a central figure in Christianity, but not a painting by da Vinci!).
