In 2005, a small auction house in New Orleans sold a painting at auction labeled at Lot 664. The description of the item was simply, “Christ Salvator Mundi. Oil on cradled panel.”
The painting was sold for $1,000.
Twelve years later, the same painting was sold at Christie’s in New York for a record $450 million dollars.
