This painting seems not to be the same as the more famous painting of apparently the same name, which appears on the Durer page. Perhaps some effort at differentiating the two from each other more clearly would be beneficial. ```` — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rtelkin (talk • contribs) 04:05, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The Salvator Mundi (Saviour of the World) concept, is Christ depicted with his right hand raised in blessing and his left hand holding an orb/Globe. I don't see this here. Where is the confirmation that this is indeed a Salvator Mundi? This is mis-named and in the wrong category surely--BeckenhamBear (talk) 16:01, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
There are people who assume that it is Dürer's last work and he wasn't able to complete it, so another hand tried to do so.
Obviously it isn't a 'Salvator mundi', this title might have come up erroneously by confusion on lists of Dürer's works.
There are three "stages" of this painting: 1st - the right hand holds a chalice (can still be seen, have a closer look). 2nd - the chalice has been removed poorly by an unknown painter. 3rd - into the now empty hand a cross was given, which has been removed later because that has for sure not been genuine.
Who is depicted? Pro Christ: the chalice, contra Christ: he doesn't have a beard as it has been usual painting practice at Dürer's time. Because of the cross (see this image for example) it was for some time erroneously assumed to be Saint Philip.--Achim (talk) 15:48, 22 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
