Yes. ❤️ let us all remember our truth. This painting brings great wisdom.

There are lot of theories that the painting isn't LdVs creation some say it was painted by his apprentice and Leonardo just painted the hair some say Leonardo never paints any of his subjects look front

Saudi Arabia’s arts push is part of an effort led by 34-year-old Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to diversify an oil-dependent economy and liberalize social customs. A few years ago, art itself was taboo, as were movie theaters, operas and rock concerts, all becoming more common

Making an Islamic art museum probably would've been easier if the Saudis hadn't been destroying most of their historic and culturally significant sites for the past several generations
