Then, write a 300-400 word essay that makes use of the articles “Florentine Artists on Film” and “Why Would Anybody Pay $450 million for a Painting?”, as well as the videos and texts about Leonardo and Michelangelo’s art.

Make sure to include a thesis, or central argument. Your thesis could be “It is/is not ludicrous to pay $450 million dollars for a painting because….”

In your essay, please address these following questions:

Do you think that Salvator Mundi is worth $450 million dollars?
Why do you think an anonymous buyer wanted this painting so much?
What is a common paradigm of artistic genius, and how does that confer value on the painting?
Can you think of a contemporary genius from the world of art, entertainment, politics, athletics, etc. that fits that paradigm of genius that was applied to Michelangelo and Leonardo?
