In New York's "Rockefeller Center" at the pre-sale exhibition of paintings by Leonardo da Vinci "The Savior of the World" visitors unexpectedly became participants in an unusual action. For several hours, a hidden camera watched them.
The exhibition of one painting attracted the attention of both ordinary people and celebrities. For example, Leonardo DiCaprio and Patti Smith. As a result, a portrait video was created, capturing the sincere emotions of a person who came in contact with the masterpiece.
The experiment was organized by the auction house Christie's. The organizers invited visitors to see the canvas of Leonardo da Vinci "The Savior of the World" before his sale at the auction, which will take place today. The image of Christ with the crossed fingers of his right hand and the crystal ball in the left is one of the last works of a brilliant Italian.
The starting price of the lot is estimated at $ 100 million.
