Announcement
In an announcement carried by NewswireJet on June 4, 2023, the Salvator Mundi Museum of Art described its acquisition of a tapestry depicting Salvator Mundi and an exhibition at its Brooklyn space. The museum said the object had been found by retired woodworker Thomas de Vries in 2019 and later entered its collection.
The announcement described the tapestry as possibly dating to the seventeenth century and connected its imagery to the famous Salvator Mundi painting. At the time, the museum said it was examining and restoring the work to learn more about its materials, origins, and maker. Neither the proposed date nor an attribution to Leonardo da Vinci was established by the announcement.
The original release gave inconsistent exhibition dates, including an impossible June 31 closing date. Those dates are historical and should not be used to plan a visit. Readers interested in current exhibitions, hours, or the status of the tapestry should check directly with the museum.
