London gallery Agnews will present Salvator Mundi (de Ganay version) at TEFAF, the European Fine Art Fair, which opens today at Maastricht in The Netherlands. One of the world’s most iconic images from the workshops of Leonardo da Vinci dates to c1505-15. When da Vinci’s Salvator Mundi (formerly in the Cook collection) sold at Christie’s New York in 2017 to a Saudi prince for a world record price for any work of art of $450,312,512, a new stratosphere was reached in the art world. Prior to the rediscovery of the Cook Collection Leonardo in 2005, the “de Ganay” Salvator Mundi had most often been considered the best of the versions known. TEFAF Maastricht is a celebration of 7000 years of art history which this year brings together 276 dealers and galleries from 24 countries. It runs until March 19.
