What Did the Salvator Mundi Really Look Like?: An Investigation and Resurrection of the Painting.

A 2021 thorough examination of all things Salvator Mundi, including the arguments for and against authenticity, with their rebuttals, and showcasing my digital recreation of the painting. Is it by Leonardo da Vinci? Who else could have painted it? What is the simple secret the experts know but hide from the public? Does the restoration go too far? What would the painting really have looked like?

If you've seen my first or second Salvator Mundi video, this one is not a continuation, but an all-encompassing, stand alone version. There's overlap in what I cover, but its all new content (except transitions). Use the time stamp to navigate as desired.
