Salvator Mundi is a painting by Italian Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci dated to c. 1500. Long thought to be a copy of a lost original veiled with over-painting, it was rediscovered, restored, and included in a major Leonardo exhibition at the National Gallery, London, in 2011–12. The painting depicts Jesus in Renaissance dress, making the sign of the cross with his right hand, while holding a transparent, non-refracting crystal orb in his left, signalling his role as Salvator Mundi (Latin for 'Saviour of the World') and representing the 'celestial sphere' of the heavens.
