In 2005, an art scavenger named Alexander Parish bought a High Renaissance painting from a small New Orleans auction house for $1,175. In 2017, Christie’s sold a heavily restored version of that same painting — the provenance of which had since become the art world’s…
davidehrlichJun 22, 2021My favorite documentaries are the ones that start off one way & then surprisingly evolve into something else entirely. THE LOST LEONARDO does exactly that with its deep exploration into the modern art world & the authenticity of a recently discovered painting potentially by…
Matt NegliaDec 16, 2021If this was a fictional thriller, people would say there are too many plot twists, and half of them are ridiculous. But this is a documentary, and it's what most thrillers wish they could pull off. Absolutely fascinating!

”This is simply a matter of economics when you boil down to it… and greed.” But is it art? This is a fascinating story of a mysterious painting, but sadly much like the painting, this documentary needs some restoration and a fresh coat of paint. The narrative is…
📀 Cammmalot 📀Jun 13, 2021Tribeca Film Festival The Lost Leonardo is a documentary that traces the discovery of the lost Salvator Mundi painting assumedly by Leonardo da Vinci. The documentary interviews art professionals who make an attempt to convince us that it’s a da Vinci work that appeared…

A documentary that starts off simply enough, discussing a painting that may or may not have been created by Leonardo da Vinci and how, in the end, perception can be bought and sold, and is really all that matters. But within this straightforward story there are also…
Dave TaylorJan 3, 2022Tenet, Velvet Buzzsaw und irgendwie auch Syriana, aber in echt: was diese Doku an Informationen, Meinungen, Verstrickungen, Schauplätzen und dann eben auch an Geschichten aufreiht und aufbaut, ist im wahrsten Sinne Stoff für mehrere Filme. Und dabei wird nicht mal alles an…

The Lost Leonardo is the first art-world documentary I’ve seen that captures what art becomes once it goes through the looking glass of greed: not just a commodity, but a way of transferring and manipulating power. It’s enough to make the Mona Lisa stop smiling.

If this arresting documentary is too agog at its own story to intricately reckon with how 21st century geopolitics and technology have further perverted the relationship between art and commerce — if it stops short of a post-credits scene where Samuel L. Jackson shows up to threaten us with the imminent rise of NFTs — the film nevertheless makes a strong case that some art is truly timeless.

The Lost Leonardo deals less with absolutes than fungible notions of perception and power.
