A group of Da Vinci experts have announced that this is
a previously unrecognized painting.
"Salvator Mundi", is by Leonardo. There are
many versions of this painting in circulation, all copies done by other
artists, but careful examination of the under-painting has shown that this
painter made radical changes in the positions of the fingers as he worked,
suggesting this is the original.
In my opinion, It clearly uses Da Vinci's Stumato
technique, meaning the face is without lines or borders, and appears to be
slightly out-of-focus. The technique is very close to what was used in the Mona
Lisa. The eyelids are handled in a very similar way, and it almost looks as
though the two paintings were rendered under the same studio lighting. The
folds of the wrinkles in the sleeves on both paintings look like they were done
by the same hand. It feels right to me.
