CHRISTIE'S l The Last Leonardo
Editor
In the midst of the controversy over Leonardo Da Vinci’s painting of the “Salvator Mundi”, Christie’s commissioned “The Last Leonardo”, a short documentary that investigates the authenticity of the re-discovered masterpiece.

More than anything, it was a great opportunity to delve into Leonardo’s life, work and style.
