The whopping price dwarfed the previous record for the most expensive piece of art sold at auction, set at $179.4 million for Pablo Picasso&#8217;s &#8220;The Women of Algiers (Version O)&#8221; by Christie&#8217;s in 2015. The auction house says &#8220;Salvator Mundi&#8221; or &#8220;Savior of the World&#8221; is one of fewer than 20 Da Vinci paintings in existence that are generally accepted as from the Renaissance master&#8217;s own hand. All other known paintings by Da Vinci are held in museum or institutional collections.
