In November 2017, Leonardo da Vinci’s last painting ‘Salvator Mundi’ was sold at an unbelievable price of $450 million, making it the most expensive painting in the world. Needless to say, not just the art community and the connoisseurs of art but the entire world was left astounded by the price of this sale.
So, why would someone pay such a huge fortune for a painting?
The answer? They are not buying the painting, they are making a statement. According to psychoanalysis done on the purchase, The individual who bought the painting is someone for whom the value of owning the world’s most expensive artwork outweighs literally everything else.
