70. Double Jeopardy: The Fake Da Vinci

Want to send us a question? We are waiting by the phones to take your call! email us at hello@cheersthanxalot.com

In this episode of Framed, we unravel the captivating story of the Salvator Mundi, a painting that has shaken the art world with its mystery, controversy, and record-breaking price tag. Once dismissed as a cheap auction find, this supposed Leonardo da Vinci masterpiece was bought for just $1,100—only to later sell for $450 million. But the journey from a dusty auction house to the world’s most expensive painting is anything but straightforward. We dive into the murky dealings of art dealers, fake negotiations, and the international tug-of-war between France and Saudi Arabia. Did the Salvator Mundi truly deserve its da Vinci label, or is this history’s most lucrative art scam? And why did it vanish from the Louvre’s Da Vinci exhibition at the last minute? Join us as we explore the twists, turns, and high-stakes drama behind the Salvator Mundi—a mystery that’s still baffling the art world today.
