This image is inspired by the life-size marble statue known as the Barberini Faun, Fauno Barberini or Drunken Satyr is located in the Glyptothek in Munich, Germany. A Faun is the Roman equivalent of a Greek Satyr. In Greek mythology, satyrs were human-like male woodland spirits with several animal features, often a goat-like tail, hooves, ears, or horns. Satyrs attended Dionysus.
Savior of the World
Salvator Mundi is a painting by Italian Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci dated to c. 1500, and the newest da Vinci to come to light. Over the centuries it has been inherited, lost, stolen, and labeled a forgery. In fact, Salvator Mundi is one of Leonardo's most copied paintings, with about 12 known examples executed by his pupils and others. Leonardo's version was thought to have been lost after the mid-17th century. In 1978, a supposed copy located in the Marquis Jean-Louis de Ganay Collection, Paris, was proposed by several art historians as possibly the lost original based on its similarity to Saint John the Baptist. This proposition was largely ridiculed by the art establishment.
In 2005, a Salvator Mundi was presented and acquired at an auction for less than $10,000 by a consortium of art dealers. It had been heavily overpainted, so it looked like a copy, and was, before restoration, described as "a wreck, dark and gloomy".
The consortium believed there was a possibility that the low-quality mess (with its excessive overpainting) might actually be the long missing da Vinci original. They commissioned a lengthy restoration and the work was subsequently authenticated as a painting by Leonardo. From November 2011 through February 2012, the painting was exhibited at the National Gallery as a work by Leonardo da Vinci, after authentication by that facility.
IIn May 2013, the Swiss dealer Yves Bouvier purchased the painting for just over US$75 million and the painting was then sold to Russian collector Dmitry Rybolovlev for US$127.5 million. The work was exhibited in Hong Kong, London, San Francisco and New York in 2017, and then sold at auction at Christie's in New York in 2017 for $450,312,500, a new record price for an artwork. The purchaser was identified as Saudi Arabian prince Badr bin Abdullah, acting on behalf of Abu Dhabi's Department of Culture and Tourism. It has never been displayed in public since and nobody knows where it is. The mystery continues.
This portrait features a young railway worker from Serbia whose resemblance to the figure of Christ in Leonardo da Vinci’s lost masterpiece is striking. He visited by studio last year and I knew immediately that I wanted to create my own version of Leonardo's beautiful and controversial work.
