Da vinci painting of jesus sells for €450 million at auction

A Leonardo da Vinci painting has broken the world record for the most expensive artwork ever sold.

It was bought for 450 million dollars - including fees - at Christie's in New York. Salvator Mundi, a portrait of Jesus, dates back to around 1500. Fine art expert Dr Tim Hunter says it's had a lot of restoration, but is still an excellent example.
