“A newly discovered painting by Renaissance master Leonardo da Vinci has sent shock waves through the art world, prompting speculation that more of his paintings could be as yet undiscovered.”

The painting "Salvator Mundi”, first of all we thought that it would be a painting by one of da Vinci's pupils or associates. But after a long period of studying, it has been authenticated as a da Vinci.

This painting was sold in 1958 for £45 ($125 in today's currency). The British collector Sir Frederick Cook descendants bought the painting in 1900 ($200 million approximately)
