A 16th-century copy of Leonardo da Vinci s
Salvator Mundi that was stolen from a basilica museum in Naples has been recovered by Italian police.
Thought to be executed by a student of the Renaissance master, the painting was found during a police search in an apartment around 7km from the Museum of San Domenico Maggiore. The owner of the property, reported to be 36-years-old by
Agenzia Italia, has been taken into police custody under suspicion of receiving stolen goods.
The work is modelled off Leonardo s famous
Salvator Mundi (around 1500), which since its record breaking $450m sale in 2017 has been the subject of intense media speculation surrounding its mysterious whereabouts, disputed attribution and fraught loan arrangements.

Your Christmas Crib is not Complete without THIS latest 2020-inspired Figurine!
The traditions of Christmas Cribs goes back decades and decades, often times going beyond the traditional setting, of showing the Nativity scene, with Mary, Joseph, Baby Jesus, the animals, the angels, the shepherds, the sheep, and the Three Wise Men.
This is more apparent in the Neapolitan Cribs, in which non-biblical figurines appear. Naples is undoubtedly the most devoted city to the history and cult of cribs: indeed a 1025 document already reported about a church of Santa Maria ad praesepe (now lost) and again in 1324 a ‘chapel of the nativity scene at Di Alagni residence’ was mentioned as existing in the nearby Amalfi.
