LEONARDO da Vinci: Salvator Mundi

Soft brushwork renders Christ holding a crystal orb, his hand raised in blessing against a shadowed background. This Renaissance masterpiece exemplifies Leonardo's sfumato technique and spiritual iconography, becoming the world's most expensive painting when sold for $450 million in 2017.
