The last documentary I watched was The Lost Leonardo and it is a damn good update on the Salvator Mundi, a painting ostensibly by Leonardo, and is currently the most expensive piece of art ever sold at $450 million. The last time I read up/watched about the painting a few years ago, I thought that there was consensus that it was indeed by Leonardo. Now it seems that there's actual doubt about this fact.
