Leonardo Lost and Found
The recent Leonardo da Vinci exhibition at the National Gallery in London brought together more than half of the artist’s fifteen known paintings. As astounding, it included a “new” work by Leonardo: the Salvator Mundi, a half-length oil painting of Christ blessing, last recorded in the collection of King Charles I in 1649 and long presumed lost. The saga of its discovery, and the research and conservation that established its authenticity, will be told by Robert Simon, who has shepherded the Salvator Mundi on its progression from an anonymous devotional painting hanging on a staircase in an American house to its recognition as a masterpiece by the greatest of all artists.
Ticket price includes continental brunch, coffee service and juice bar and one-day pass for the Palm Beach Jewelry, Art & Antiques Show for Sunday, February 16, 2014.
This event is free for members of Friends of the Uffizi Gallery, who may RSVP by email to friendsofuffizi@gmail.com.
