KENT, Conn.—The documentary film “The Lost Leonardo,” directed by Andreas Koefoed, will be shown at the Kent Memorial Library Thursday, May 1, at 6 p.m.
The film chronicles the dramatic increases in the painting’s value from its original purchase in 2005 for $1,175 to its auction in 2017 for $450 million, when it became the most expensive artwork ever sold.
It was released in 2021 and follows the discovery and successive sales of the painting, the Salvator Mundi, allegedly a work by Leonardo da Vinci, an artist for whom there are only a few attributed works in existence.
The screening at the 32 North Main St. library is free and open to the public. Guests are encouraged to bring their own food and drink.
