This design features a painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci. It is dated to around 1500 and its title is "salvator mundi" (which is Latin for "savior of the world"). The painting shows Jesus Christ in Renaissance-style dress; he is making the sign of the cross with his right hand and holding a crystal orb in his left, representing the "celestial sphere" of the heavens. The original painting was sold for almost half a billion dollars in 2017.
