The Great Savior of the World Painting

During the almost two years that this great copy lasted, William had to be patient to wait for the right moments to superimpose the continuous layers, either of paint or varnish with glass powder. The result is indeed surprising, because in this copy-study William was able to experience first-hand the difficulties of painting in this way (nothing compared to the current ways of painting centuries after the Renaissance), and thus verify the true technique of Leonardo’s sfumato, as reported by the restorer of the Restoration Institute in New York, Dianne Dwyer Modestini, commissioned for some years to restore the original. The result that Leonardo was trying to reach is something that today we call the stereoscopic effect, or stereoscopy, which is nothing more than the 3D sensation or three-dimensional sensation of an image. In the case of William, one of the scopes of this copy-study was that of reconstruction. Although the original still has elements that have not been rescued from its destruction, such as those of the face and eyes, the mantle, the medallion on the chest, the glass sphere, which for ethical and professional reasons the restorer could not recreate or invent by respecting the areas that are not reached to suspect in an accurate way, what they really were. From this point of view, William ventured into this painting, freely and creatively, to recreate all those elements that are not seen in the original auctioned at Christie’s in 2017, thus giving us an approximate and personalized visual idea of the face and figure. In general of this Jesus Christ or Salvator Mundi. Video: https://youtu.be/pEIcMhslUpY
