As of my last update in January 2022, the most expensive painting ever sold is Leonardo da Vinci's "Salvator Mundi." It was sold at auction by Christie's in November 2017 for a record-breaking price of $450.3 million USD.
"Salvator Mundi" depicts Jesus Christ in Renaissance attire raising his right hand in blessing and holding a crystal orb in his left hand. The painting's attribution to Leonardo da Vinci has been the subject of debate among art historians, but its sale at such an extraordinary price set a new benchmark for the art market.
