Program Description

Event Details

Join us to watch The Lost Leonardo, the inside story behind the Salvator Mundi, the most expensive painting ever. From the moment the painting is bought at a shady New Orleans auction house, and the restorer discovers masterful Renaissance brushstrokes under the heavy varnish of its cheap restoration, the Salvator Mundi’s fate is determined by an insatiable quest for fame, money and power. As its price soars, so do questions about its authenticity - is this painting really by Leonardo da Vinci? 

Registration is required for this program and begins on February 1.  You may register online, in person at the Ask a Librarian Desk or by calling 412-366-8100, extension 113.

Snacks will be provided.
