From the controversial $450 million Salvator Mundi that vanished after breaking auction records, to the legendary Battle of Anghiari that may be hidden behind a false wall in Florence, each missing da Vinci tells a story of obsession, deception, and the dangerous lengths people will go to possess irreplaceable art. You’ll discover how Nazi art thieves nearly destroyed The Last Supper, why Lady with an Ermine survived Hitler’s dream museum, and how the completely lost Leda and the Swan continues to haunt collectors worldwide.
Using cutting-edge technology, international databases, and decades of painstaking research, modern art detectives are closer than ever to solving these Renaissance mysteries. But as this investigation reveals, the search for missing masterpieces has become a high-stakes game where art, politics, and enormous sums of money collide in ways Leonardo could never have imagined.
This isn’t just about finding lost paintings – it’s about understanding how cultural treasures become pawns in global power games, why some of history’s greatest works remain tantalizingly out of reach, and whether the hunt for missing art has become more valuable than the masterpieces themselves. The race is on to recover these priceless works before they disappear forever into private collections or deteriorate beyond recognition.
