The art world was undeniably shook when Leonardo Da Vinci’s Salvator Mundi sold for a whopping $450 million.<\/a><\/p>\n

It was rumoured the piece was bought by Saudi Prince Bader bin Abdullah bin Mohammed bin Farhan al-Saud and gifted to the Abu Dhabi royal family and it was originally announced the piece would be permanently homed at the Louvre Abu Dhabi on September 18.<\/p>\n

The Louvre Abu Dhabi announced the huge coupe back in December<\/h4>\n

What everyone wants to know<\/h4>\n
\n

Why And when?<\/p>\n

The 500-year old painting was bought at Christie’s in New York for US$450 million (AED1.65billion), making it the most expensive painting to be ever sold at an auction<\/h4>\n

The stunning Renaissance oil painting shows a blue-robed Jesus holding a crystal orb and gazing at the viewer.<\/p>\n

It was initially reported the painting would be unveiled in Abu Dhabi, then it would return to the Musee du Louvre in Paris for a planned Leonardo show to mark the 500th anniversary of the artist, before returning to its permanent home in Abu Dhabi after the show ends in October 2020.<\/p>\n

So it’s possible to suggest we can expect the painting to arrive at the Louvre Abu Dhabi in late October<\/h4>\n<\/p>\n
