"Titled Christ as Salvator Mundi, the oil-on-walnut panel painting, dated to between 1505 and 1515, is presented by London's Agnews Gallery. Branded as a "de Ganay version," the work was previously in the collection of the the noble de Ganay family in France; it is exhibited alongside its infrared reflectographic images at the gallery's booth."
"In 2022, however, Spain's Museo del Prado's curator and scholar Ana González Mozo downgraded the Christie's Salvator Mundi to the category of "attributed works, workshop or authorized and supervised by Leonardo" and put it in the same category as the de Ganay painting. Notably, the latter was included in the 2019 Leonardo retrospective at the Louvre while the Cook canvas was not."
A Salvator Mundi painting attributed to Leonardo da Vinci's studio, dated 1505-1515, is presented by Agnews Gallery at TEFAF Maastricht. Known as the de Ganay version after its previous French noble family ownership, the work is displayed with infrared reflectographic images. The gallery director declined to disclose the asking price but invited offers. This painting shares similarities with the famous Cook version that sold for $450 million at Christie's in 2017. Both works are now categorized as workshop pieces supervised by Leonardo, following a 2022 reassessment by the Prado's curator. The de Ganay version was notably included in the 2019 Louvre Leonardo retrospective, unlike the Cook canvas.
