In 2005, a small auction house in New Orleans sold a painting at auction labeled at Lot 664. The description of the item was simply, “Christ Salvator Mundi. Oil on cradled panel.”
The painting was sold for $1,000. 
Twelve years later, the same painting was sold at Christie’s in New York for a record $450 million dollars. 
Learn more about Salvator Mundi, the world’s most expensive painting, and the controversy surrounding it, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
