On the back of this painting states, "A Christ by Da Vinci" added years after the painting was made. On May 13, 1991 the Vice President Old Master Paintings Department of Southeby's, Heidi Chin, stated in a letter, "I would describe your painting as not related to Leonardo da Vinci, but is by a minor Italian painter. The subject is probably of Mary Magdalene..." Also, a letter of May 23, 1991 from the Director General of the Vatican Musuem is not interested in this picture for the Vatican. This painting has been in private ownership for 3 generations. Whether it is a picture of "The Christ" by Da Vinci or Mary Magdalene is open for debate just as the Da Vinci code is open for debate. A copy of the letters will be provided upon request. If you are a private collector ask yourself-does this have a piece to the puzzle. If you are a museum-look at the Mona Lisa and the money that brings to the museum in tourist dollars. This is the chance of a lifetime.
