In 2019, after years of preliminary studies and groundwork, a blockbuster exhibition on Leonardo da Vinci opened at the Louvre. However, one of Leonardo’s most famous works, and the most expensive painting ever sold, “Salvator Mundi”, was nowhere to be found and in its place the curators decided to put a similar painting by one of Leonardo’s students. Two years later, the movie “The Lost Leonardo” was released, which tries to understand where the famous painting disappeared. This lecture will focus on the history of the painting, the other treasures of the exhibition and the contemporary perception of Leonardo, through analysis and clips from the film.

The series | Contemporary art, especially Italian art, embraces today other media, which complete, integrate and sometimes even question it. New tools, which open up rarely or never-before-traveled paths, bringing a new audience closer to the world of art. We see these phenomena happening in museums, galleries and even beyond them, in design shops, in fashion venues and in architecture.
This series aims to examine, each time in a different way, how Italian art interacts and intertwines with other worlds.
