I thought the guy doing the interview was terrible I'm surprised Kemp even did this.

I want to make a Grand Tour. 🤗 I start @ Firenze and then Roma, Amalfi ..... Whats more ! hehe 👋😄 ciao

You have convinced yourself you know it all. You don't know anything. It's not knowable. It's intended to be unknowable. So don't prop yourself up

most of these go to museums.

It's usually called the Kabal but Don't worry - the tax offset is a net benefit to museums needing a coat of paint and canopies

"Mona Lisa" is an anagram for "Mon Salai" (Gian Giacomo Caprotti da Oreno) 🧐

Interesting name Clovis. In the early 1900s there was a Clovis gallery in Paris which exhibited a very famous Picasso Blue Period painting. As for The Mundi.. What a shame this Dilapidated panel being $1200 was recreated and fraudulently engineered into $450M for Arabs.

Research the Base sketch of the so called World's Most Famous Painting. Seek and Ye Shalt Find..

I've been following this painting and story since it went to auction , I believe this is the biggest Art scams ever , I'm Shure it's a beautiful painting but not by Leonardo .

@@juniorjohnson5961 It's funny... I really want it to be a Leonardo. I'm a huge Leonardo fan and any recovered lost work is a priceless gift to be celebrated. But wishing something to be true doesn't make it true. Of course one can believe whatever one wants, and if it makes you happy, fine. But that is not the position a so-called art expert ought to take. Martin Kemp is just such a romantic. But there's no place for romanticism in factual reality. He has no credibility. I stood in front of that painting in awe. I was utterly exalted. This was absolutely in the innovative style of Leonardo. No one else could have painted this. He was the only person in the word at that time with the knowledge, the patience and the hand for such a masterpiece. It was sublime and knocked the Mona Lisa into a cocked hat... Then the realisation dawned upon me... However, in the modern age, pretty much any two-bit restorer who was being paid handsomely for their patience, would have the knowledge, and the hand. And when you see what it was restored from... even after taking off the dreadful later overpainting... you are left in no doubt that whatever it once looked like it most certainly never looked like it does today. This representation is a creation by a restorer in the style of Leonardo with the sfumato technique executed to perfection. The restorer herself (a restorer of many great masters) said she felt compelled to put this painting back together in the unfettered and unequivocal style of Leonardo. Of course it's convincing as a Leonardo. If it weren't she wouldn't have her job. What we can be sure about is that if Leonardo did paint it, his original painting never looked even remotely like this one. And it is highly questionable whether he painted upon this panel in the first place. Remember the so-called Leonardo expert who set the world on fire with his attribution, is also guilty of attributing the Bella Principessa to Leonardo. The Bella Principessa was painted by Shaun Greenhalgh in his garden shed in Bolton in 1978. He sanded down a piece of vellum to remove the ink script from a 16th century land registry document, but after sanding decided the vellum looked too new, so he did what no artist or document scribe would do... he used the wrong side of the vellum. Martin Kemp put this bizarre move down to Leonardo's genius. Greenhalgh asks the question, so how do you explain the 600 grade sanding marks on the smooth verso side of the vellum that you will find with 100% certainty if you only look? Truth is, Kemp wrote a book about his attribution to Leonardo and it would be highly damaging to his reputation if he were wrong and Greenhalgh were the true creator. So neither he, nor the owner, who also has everything to lose by looking, have advocated further examination. This shows something of the venal character of the 'expert' - he would rather be seen to be revered for his expertise than actually right. For this reason alone, The Salvator Mundi's attribution is not worth the paper it's written on. Although you can buy Martin Kemp's books about his crucial involvement in the 'finding' of not one but two lost masterpieces by Leonardo. They are on sale. He'll sign copies and go on lecture tours to get those books to fly off the shelf and cement his own name in art history for giving the world such gifts. If only they were what he tells you they are. Well they're not.

Thank you for getting back to me 🙏 wow what a well written and thoughtful comment ! I agree with you I'm thinking this was a well thought out Scam from the beginning , six years to restore all they have is a black & white photo before they started the restoration I'm thinking alot of people were paid off including this gentleman. God Bless you 🙏 and thank you for responding jj

@@juniorjohnson5961 My pleasure, JJ. Exposing Martin Kemp is a passion of mine so this is a labour of love. Check out the Bella Principessa. It's also a sublime piece of work. No less sublime, I personally believe, given that the subject is not a 'beautiful princess' at all (Kemp's title after his Leonardo attribution) but is actually, as Shaun Greenhalgh says, a 1978 portrait of "Bossy Sally from the Co-op" that he did in his garden shed at the bottom of the garden on his council estate in Bolton, Lancashire. Check out Greenhalgh's other forgeries too - if you've got time watch the documentary "The Artful Codgers" - it is hilarious. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iZOmZtZ1vdO2eJ8.html Of course Martin Kemp simply cannot countenance the possibility that he was duped by someone so lowly, someone so far beneath his status. Enjoy.

*The Fraud of The Century* Martin Kemp *CORRUPT DA VINCI EXPERT* instigated the process to legitimize the painting. *Research The Bouvier Affair* The build up to legitimise the suddenly found battered panel with major inconsistencies of past ownerships and provenance is Absolutely Disgusting.

Shayan Chamas It doesn’t to me either, it just doesn’t look good enough to be a Leonardo. Despite being idealised all his figures look ‘alive’ this painting looks ‘dead’, it’s just a gut feeling.

You should probably tell someone. Fast.

@Christophe Scott The $alvador Modesitini pardon me (Mundi) is the antics of armchair expert Martin Kemp. Ideally they should have sold The Arabs the original UV SPECTOGRAPHY images of the Gioconda base sketch. Just Imagine the afternath Controversy then 😅😅😅😅

That's because it wasn't. Long story short, apart from anything else (lack of provenance, or any evidence that Leonardo ever even saw this flawed picture, etc) the draughtmanship is just not good enough. Put this painting up against Durer's Salvator Mundi and you'll see it for the joke it is.

"The end" has been "near" for many generations. For most people, our individual physical death due to aging is much nearer than any other end. Waste your life fearing any end and you are not living at all!

@@danseabreeze1404 you positively negative

You're on crack

They're backed up to the same cliff that Abraham Bredius toppled over.

Martin Kemp engineered this 'Fraud of The Century' Furthermore - Behind the scenes there was an uproar as a result of the attribution controversy. The Mundi was previously proven from the workshop of Leonardo and was attributed wholly to Boltraffio up to 2011. Absolutely NO EVIDENCE they can submit to substantiate or prove it has anything from the hand of Da Vinci: 'AN ABSOLUTE OUTRAGE:' The $alvador Mundi sudden new Attribution. In particular - an academic armchair expert 'Martin Kemp' Oxford and international Museums circuit lecturer whom has influence over several vertically integrated corporations. Kemps blessing enhanced the profile of the suddenly found Mundi. The subsequent Diane Modestini Makeover was an entirely significant factor further to the existing overpainted wrecked panel and painting. SHE DID A RECREATION: She even admits it was already contaminated from previous overpaintings before she even got her hands on it. PLUS In Reality 'Old Masters' private owners especially from the discreet Private Collections are astounded. Lest We Forget there are also unknown Leonardo Da Vinci artworks far far away from the prowling corrupted paws of the influential experts and auctioneers: There are several never been restored 'Old Masters' from origin in the private collections from ownerships of generations. But these owners are now annoyed due to Martin Kemp pushing up their prices up now also increases the security deposit costs and insurance annual premiums. The insurance firms and underwriters have certainly gained traction per the revised momemtum. Incidentally, 'Christies' had literally asked my friends firm to underwrite the $alvador Mundi before the 2017 auction. This was probably because Dmitry Rybolovlev was livid since unravelling he'd been fleeced by Yves Bouvier from the back to back deals via Sothebys personnel. Sothebys knew one day Dmitry would find out hence Bouvier needed parallel leverage. Incidentally Boltraffio had also been attributed to 'Madonna Litta' Hermitage Museum, St. Petersberg (Incidentally this painting is the last sudden found alleged Da Vinci before the discovery of the much dilapidated Mundi in New Orleans, Louisiana (USA). So now the Experts were raging about integrity and were heavily divided which is why the current buyer/s are holding back since the Dmitry Rybolovlev and Yves Bouvier saga runs very deep. Whilst Dmitry still hasn't been paid by 'Christies' due to the fact the payments are held back - he's also been conveniently sanctioned by the banks freezing his assets and locked out from his jetset pals of Monaco Royalty etc. Quite a Coincidence.!!! It's an absolute OUTRAGE scandal of the highest kind in the Art World.

@@daniyalg2436 Kemp is so self-opinionated and full of bull, but it would appear that no point has he ever been called out face to face. Lots of people wanted this to be a daVinci (for reasons ranging from the emotional to the financial) , so he was part of the cabal that made it into a Da Vinci.

The hand is anatomically impossible. Please watch this for the explanation: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kLiekq2A2p2RpIk.html

This is how a Salvator Mundi is painted. It will have been commissioned and when you're painting this subject there is not much room for manoeuvre. There are plenty of other Salvator Mundis by other artists and the pose is basically exactly the same, face on. Also Martin Kemp is the world leading expert on Leonardo, so I think I'll go with his opinion...

Michael Boylan Of course you know

You should probably tell someone about this, FAST. Thank god we have you.
