"Solid bottle or crystal, whether shaped like an orb or a lens, produces magnified, inverted, and antipodal images," Isaacson writes. "Instead, Leonardo corrective the orb as if it were a alveolate bottle balloon that does not refract or alter the ablaze casual through it."
Isaacson himself believes it was an advised accommodation to acrylic it that way and does not accept the painting is a fake.
While the painting was broadly accepted as a da Vinci in 2011, some advisers accept appropriate that "Salvator Mundi" was a artefact of da Vinci's workshop, or was fabricated by addition addict after the master's talent.
