What Made The Da Vinci Painting Worth $450 Million? Bidding

I know a Chinese dude down the street that makes these painting for 2 packs of ramen and some Pokemon cards.

Judas must feel like he got ripped-off, considering he only got $216.25 for the REAL Jesus.

Rick: Ill give you $100 for the painting but at that price im taking a risk.

It looks like a male version of the Mona Lisa.

buyer could have hired a Delta Force team , stole it for 1/10 the price

Somehow I wish great art like these remained for the public

Two words, “money laundering”.

Magnificent painting by Leonardo Da Vinci and so very rare. There are less than 20 paintings in existence by Leonardo Da Vinci. It should be displayed in a museum.

Money laundering

If only Leonardo knew how big his legacy would be

The art is just amazing for a 500 year old painting. But 450 mil for it is just freaking crazy.

"What Made The Da Vinci Painting Worth $450 million?" Da Vinci himself

This belongs in A MUSEUM!!!

Why should anyone own such a historical painting?! It should stay in a museum.

When I see a Da Vinci painting, for a second, I sometimes forget that this used to be a white canvas.

What's their refund policy ?

How was Jesus so pale walking through that damn desert everyday

Forget the news title for the thumbnail. This clip of this man beautifully articulating what set made Leonardo so great. Detailing the aspects in Da Vinci's execution of his artistic craft was indeed a masterclass. No high brow critique, but spoken from his heart and pure admiration that broke it down to someone who never had it explained in such a way.

Meanwhile Rick from pawn stars :- I can give 100$ and m taking risk here.

This is called madness.

Its like when you buy something on impulse and then you try to justify it.

"Shit I forgot to ask for a receipt...how am I gonna return it now."

Every time i see a LDV painting being explained, i become increasingly in awe of that man. He's truly a divine soul blessed with a special touch from god.

jesus invented rasengan

High-end art market is commonly used by people who want to hide assets with a shady history, or in other words, it's money laundering. I do love this painting and da Vinci, though. Certainly better than anything produced in the last 100 years of art.

The artists description of the Da Vinci painting was flawless. Well Spoken

What Made The Da Vinci Painting Worth $450 Million? "Money Laundering"!!

Watching the image for long time made me realize that is the ultimate level of perfection, a feeling of overwhelming happiness invades through the screen into my eyes.

Jesus looks like Post Malone.

Da Vinci never failed us to amazed by his paintings and most specifically with his Monalisa and The Last Supper👌

There are several fascinating points in this video, but the most arresting of all is how faithfully the artist has managed to reproduce the Brazilian accent of my apartment building superintendent.

It's really worth the price if one takes into account that recently a awful painting by Basquiat was sold for $110.5 million.

investment. 20 years time 700 mill. 50 years time a billion and so on

Good investment. In the future this will be selling for double or triple the price. Art will never go out of style and people who appreciate art will pay a lot of money for rare art pieces.

Rick: I'll go up to $17, not a penny more. Seller: Can you do $400M? Rick: Come on, I'm taking all the risk!

Why would Christ be holding a crystal ball?

What’s the point of buying an authentic Da Vinci painting representing the FALSE image of Christ. That man that you see in the painting is Cesare Borgia, his father Rodrigo de Borgia also known as Pope Alexander VI decided that the representation of Christ needed a modern day makeover. So he hired Da Vinci to paint multiple paintings of his son Cesare Borgia and send them all across the world. I’m sorry ladies and gentlemen but Da Vinci was a small pawn in a much larger game. Don’t believe me? Look it up and decide for yourselves.

That painting could feed millions of hungry and poor people

It should worth more than that .this painture one of things that makes life worth living .

There is no human figure in any picture by Leonardo in which the head is perfectly aligned with the torso and shoulders. He always gave their figures some slight tilt or turning to make them more interesting. If this is a work by Leonardo then it is a anomaly, a singular exception. Although I must admit that other features (mainly the style) really look Leonardo's.

So I need to watch 11 hours of the Muller report and 3 mins of a Da Vinci painting? Thanks 😒

Amazing how the artist did the hair curls, such good detail

20 painting a lifetime . I only have 3. I need to start auctioning mine.

Honestly, it’s a rare of a kind. I think it’s abit absurd, I would have purchase one of Leonardo’s codex instead, but this painting is probably more rare since it’s never been seen in all of the public eye for the past 100th of years. Remember Leonardo was around the late mid 1400s died in early 1500s. All I am saying is that the price is well worth it, but it’s significance compare to other works are not up to par. No doubt this piece have some good technicality to it. In terms of art.

Really is a beautiful painting.

It maybe by Albrecht Durer..he did a preparatory drawing of the same subject and it is eerily the same as is his self portrait.

This is one of the most amazing paintings I have ever seen!!!

It isn't more about the painting itself but Da Vinci. His genius and his works. His masterpieces are limited and owning one of them is probably one of the biggest achievements in life.

What Made The Da Vinci Painting Worth $450 Million? *The Auctioneer*

funny thing about art - when you look at a painting you are not watching the subject but you are face to face with the author..

It Sold For 400 Million!!! NOT 450! Why are all these videos on RU-vid saying 450???

This could very well be a magician living down the road from Da Vinici that he decided to make a painting of...years down the road we portrait it as white "Jesus" hold a crystal ball..makes perfect sense to me.

wow so many saints and art connoisseur in youtube.

What the painting sold for is its purchase price, not necessarily what it's worth. Most of the time the purchase price and the market value are equivalent, but there are instances when that is not accurate. All of us have seen the last two bidders for a piece competing with each other to the bitter end. You have to look at where most of the bids ranged not necessarily the last offer. You also have to look at Da Vinci's and his contemporaries bodies of work as this sale may be an outlier and not representative of market value. The problem with overpaying for art is that it is unlikely to come back onto the market until market prices rise to where this painting is once more worth selling. That could be a very, very long time. Eventually, like all things in life, the painting will come to market either by this buyer or their estate. It would have been nice to see the actual painting as it is like a bridge in time between you and the artist but I can live with photos and reproductions. To the buyer. Enjoy it with your friends as it is an amazing piece of art. As with all art, no one really owns it, we are just one of many custodians through time.

I have a painting like this, printed it at the print shop and put it in a frame what's the difference? Cost me 20 dollars

aliens probably look at us and laugh that we put prices on things that are irrelevant to living life.

Rick : this would go $100, 000 at an auction

The secrets behind this painting is amazing.

Can you even get it insured?

that 1 decimal place of $3m just mean nothing anymore.

Thats both the creepiest and coolest painting I’ve ever seen

Well it was sold but does anyone know where it is ?? It was brought by the UAE govt for the Louvre museum in Abu Dhabi but till date it has not arrived at the museum yet ! So where is this painting?

Please, the song in the blackground starting with 1:00, please!

where does the money go?

It worth more than what u think Da Vinci ❤️

An object like this painting should not be in the possession of a private person, it should be displayed in a museum for the world to witness.

So simple just demand a national interview with me "Jesus Barajas"

It's not depiction of Christ . Why on earth Christ will hold a crystal ball and one hand pointing up ... Surely it's a depiction of magician showing as above as below .

Smh thats just a pic of a regular white hippie thats not Jesus Christ

He really went in there to switch it😅and put his own 🕵️‍♂️😃

Who more did bid on this painting, Nobody talks about that. It's a competition and only the final buyer is mentioned.

Why buy this, when you can just screenshot and print it? HMMMMM🍌??

In my opinion this painting is a depiction of Lucifer and here is why: 1.As we all know Lucifer is a master deceiver and some argue that he is half man, half woman. As we see from the painting the man is way too feminine looking, has a 'fabulous' hair and as 1 Corinthians 11:14 asks us, “Does not even nature teach you that it is a shame for a man to have long hair?” But let us get it clear - Back in the time of Paul, society (social nature) considered it a shame for men to have long hair and for women to be bald. Modern society does not. Neither God’s nature nor biological nature considers it a shame. Adhering to the social norms of their time was a form of keeping the second greatest commandment. Those social norms have changed. Therefore it can be concluded that men may wear long hair if they so desire, AS LONG AS THEY AVOID LOOKING LIKE WOMEN AND VICE VERSA;Christ is usually depicted with a beard and it is missing here. Look at the chest area, it is almost looking like a women's breasts sticking out. And notice how the clothes line on the chest sweeps downwards as women's and not upwards as men's. (check different depictions of Christ and you will see); 2. Let's continue.They say that this painting is one of the few that Leonardo da Vinci had actually finished painting which is fine, but ask yourself this question: if you could paint as good as Leonardo how would you represent Jesus Christ? If it was me a would paint it similar to many other depictions - kind looking man with slightly longer hair, beard, maybe I will paint a halo around his head, for a background I will put bright blue sky, some fluffy white clouds...you get my point I would like to represent something divine and pure. And here comes the question: Why would Leonardo, if he is depicting our Lord and Saviour, paint his background pitch black? It is almost like the man is lurking/coming out from the shadows - and we all know who is hiding and scheming in the darkness, far away from God's light, the Devil himself. 3.One fact that everyone seem to miss: Since when is Jesus Christ using a crystal ball?! The only ones that are using crystal balls are the mystics and mediums, and we all know what the Bible say about them 'Leviticus 19:31“Do not turn to mediums or necromancers; do not seek them out, and so make yourselves unclean by them: I am the Lord your God.'' 4.This point is purely optional :) , because we delve deep into the conspiracy. Is his brown garment on the clothing representing an upside down triangle with an "eye" inside? and continuing downwards to create the symbol 'As above so below'? Is this a nod to another secret society?, as we know Leonardo was a part of one. We can only speculate here... As a conclusion I ask you not to believe me, but at least think about it and open yourself to extreme possibilities that the man painted in this painting is not our Lord and Saviour, as they want you to believe, but the exact opposite! Thank you.

You can see a constellation in the crystal ball. So beautiful. He knew we came from the stars 🌟

Remember, the truth is free, but the cost of a lie is expensive because one needs to be creative in telling it, It could cost up to $450 million.

Famous for recreations? So..he was smart when he forged paintings

This painting is more beautiful and enlighted than mona lisa's one . An atheist can also believe in jesus after glancing this master class painting . This painting is like someone send from heaven

I wish I could go back in time for him to draw me painting and come back and sell it my time period

It is now in The Louvre Abu Dhabi

Conclusion : Bidding

Vinci: picks up brushes and opens paint Canvas: ah, shit here we go again

The painting clearly looks like the work of Leonardo's student, and young lover, Gian Giacomo Caprotti da Oreno, better known as Salaì. Anyone who knows Salai's work, can immediately see his hand here!

What made it worth 450? some crazy message hidden and when discovered will change a lot.

2 words: Money Laundering

That’s 150 times the amount of my house

I think it's interesting and wonder if theirs a reason why some of his paintings and sculptures always have someone or somethings hand with 2 fingers together and possibly pointing or something

Did LdV ever paint a medieval monk ? I have such a painting: the head is well done, but the hand is rather two-dimensional (maybe painted by a student ?)

HI THERE, I was watching this short clip and noticed that I am right at the end taking a picture of the painting just before the video finishes and I just wanted to say HEY and thank you for featuring me in this video. I often ask myself (as I've watched this video about a million times) why you guys would choose that clip if I'm totally blocking the painting...maybe it was fate...who knows. ANYWAY, thanks so much for unintentionally making my life by placing ME in a LEO doc. The best day ever.

Seriously? You’re saying that Jesus Christ looks like the mutilated version of caitlyn jenner. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Bro.. many experienced artists around the world could pull of a painting like this.. if it's been dated that's one thing but my guy to suggest 'no one' could pull off the hair or crystal ball like that

This painting should never be sold to anyone. It should be displayed in a Museum for all to see.

I got that painting for 1$ I used my printer

LOL! It's never that serious, I promise. You played yourself! 🤣😂 Cute curls though, Caesar Borgia 🙄

DaVinci paintings are the only ones I can understand going for that price.

i know one dude here in the street of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania could draw more than that for only $ 10

Da Vinci didn't paint this His student did Everyone knows this those who say otherwise just want to up the price

Leonardo da Vinci can paint hair and a glass orb with extreme precision and attention to details but he can't paint a proper neck? ok...

I do agree that it does differ from other Leo works (but hey, if just few of them survived, how can we know for sure he didnt paint anything else (destroyed long time ago?)) & for sure Abu Dhabi clearly wanted their Mona Lisa counterpart Btw how can anyone sell something belonging to Leo on auction?!?! Isnt that supposed to be worldwide universal treasure? Nah, even after such a troubled history of this painting, bad luck still follows it: it was for sometime on luxury yacht, and now its most likely lost again....

On the frontier of liner perspective and accurate human anatomy, Leonardo sparked a style that is being referenced to this day. From movies to games, we can see his and many of the artistic masters hand in the compositions. This is why his work is valued. Drapery and hair has been a ongoing object in painting pre Hig Renaissance, but what he does different is not only his lose sfumato style but his depiction of emotion. This could have been a much more interesting video if y'all were to slightly inform the audience about these MAIN points without losing the vibe you wanted to put out about Leonardo and contemporary currency.
