Wyoming Investor: Salvator Mundi

CASPER, Wyo. - Nov. 6, 2022 - PRLog -- "Saviour of the World" was at one time believed to have been destroyed. The painting disappeared from 1763 until 1900, when it was bought by Sir Charles Robinson as a work by Bernardino Luini, a follower of Leonardo.

Plenty of paintings have been called the "most controversial," and the Salvator Mundi (produced after 1500; "Savior of the World") is only the latest to be given that title.
