The Lost Leonardo Matinée Preview

Palace Cinemas invites you to a special Matinée Preview of The Lost Leonardo, the inside story behind the most expensive painting ever sold at $450 million.

Join us for a complimentary glass of prosecco and specialty macarons on arrival before a preview screening of The Lost Leonardo, a documentary from Sony Classics and Dogwoof which tells the story of a mysterious painting of Jesus Christ that took the art world by storm.

From the moment the painting is bought for $1175 at a shady New Orleans auction house, and the restorer discovers masterful Renaissance brush strokes under the heavy varnish of its cheap restoration, the Salvator Mundi’s fate is determined by an insatiable quest for fame, money and power. As its price soars, so do questions about its authenticity; is this painting really by Leonardo da Vinci? Unravelling the hidden agendas of the richest men and most powerful art institutions in the world, The Lost Leonardo reveals how vested interests in the Salvator Mundi are of such tremendous power that truth becomes secondary.

Reviews:

★★★★★
“Sweet heavens, this is strong.”

★★★★
“Koefoed isn’t scared to treat his interviews as hostile witnesses on occasion, so that the film always seems to be on the side of the artwork rather than any individual.”

– Eye for Film

★★★★
“Perhaps Da Vinci should have painted Christ throwing the art dealers out of the temple.”

– Guardian
