The Saudi Crown Prince Refused to Lend the ‘Salvator Mundi’ to the Louvre Because the Museum Disputed Its Authenticity, a New Film Says 

MBS reportedly didn't want the museum to reveal the belief that only a small part of the painting was done by Leonardo's hand.The mystery of why the Salvator Mundi, the world’s most expensive painting, didn’t appear at the blockbuster 2019 Leonardo da Vinci show at the Louvre in Paris is unraveled in a new documentary, set to premiere on French television on April 13. In the film, The Savior for Sale, director Antoine Vitkine speaks with anonymous sources who claim that the plan to exhibit the work fell through because the Louvre refused to bow to demands from Saudi Arabia to show the painting as an autograph Leonardo, reports the Art Newspaper. The museum is said to have conducted its own scientific analysis of the $450 million work, which smashed every auction record in history with its 2017 sale at Christie’s New York. The Louvre disagreed with the auction house’s billing of the work as “the male Mona Lisa,” and the last painting by the Renaissance master to exist in private hands. “The scientific evidence was that Leonardo da Vinci only made a contribution to the painting. There was no doubt,” says a senior French government official who goes by the code name Jacques in the film. Source
