Shit's lit.

Could be fake news. Also it is nonsensical some are seeing Saudi Arabia as a "Wahabi" fundamentalist ISIS like country. Would such a country buy a portrait of Jesus by one of the most renowned Italian Renaissance artist?

Saudis don't drink their own kool aid dude they gamble and fuk men it's all a mirage

Albeit there are homosexuals everywhere, they don't fuck men typically more than others.

They want to seize and destroy our culture.

Firstly, it's called money laundering. Secondly, fuck Saudi Arabia and that shitskin dune coon camel jockey ape motherfucker for laying his sand nigger paws on one of the master's works.

this, don't be surprised if you see a high quality video of the painting being eviscerated by masked men in the near future due to it being "stolen". Screencap this if you want it's going to be big

Lel Italy btfo, selling their masterworks for some hairy assed towel headed goat fucker's oil cash. Pathetic fucking guidos

That doesn't make sense. They're putting it in a museum. And it costs 450million$. Furthermore, it's not something that's seen as too important by Westerners to defile since some are even considering the work to not be by Da Vinci.
>probably defacto king of the country
>money laudering
Why the fuck would a king need to money launder? He's a king in an absolute monarchy he doesn't need to launder the money, no one is coming after it.

Of course, all of this could be fake news.

This. How are you not fucking worried? I can buy some arabs being based in some way but not the fucking saudis. That portrait will either: be seen as a prize, a way to mock the christians, be destroyed or worse. And if you're lucky.. not destroyed. Until saudi arabia gets what's coming and the portrait is destroyed by friendly fire.

joke's on everyone because Jesus was brown

probably some CIA deal.

came with a crate of 20 cruise missiles.

Jokes on you because He wasn't. Faggot.

Don't confuse royalty with lowlife scum. Royalty of any half civilized country is well educated in the humanities and the arts and can appreciate cultural landmarks regardless of religion.

>Saudis don't drink their own kool aid dude

True.
Jesus would be considered brown today if people saw an accurate picture of him.

why does he have the glass ball?
and checked

leonardo da vinci was a racist, jesus wuz black n shieet

Fuck off atheist shill, Sup Forums is a Christian board.

Jesus is a prophet in Islam.

>wants to destroy it
>wants to appeal to christians
>is a closet christian
>wants to sell it for more later

hmmm

>>wants to sell it for more later

ding ding ding we have a winner here

Tfw Trump converted Salman to Christianity

>Jesus looks awful in this picture
>hairline way too high
>no neck
>thin patchy hippie beard
>breasts
>oddly low shoulders
>bad proportions
>ugly hand
>orb optics don't even look good
>shitty renaissance clothing
>paying that much because the brand name says DaVinci

Stupid.

Maybe the Crown Prince is secretly a convert.

The crown prince is a Christian convert

>Not knowing art purchases are a popular way for the rich to launder money.

>Not knowing the crown prince has no need to launder money

>Saudi Arabia becomes christian in a few decades

yeah but hes not wearing a hajib in that pic

checked. This. comes with some weapons or children for consumption.

>not living up to your impossible standards
no need to crucify the guy ! jesus christ !

You aren't allowed to depict holy figures and prophets in any way including using art in Islam

>tfw thats clearly jesus face painted over another painting
>tfw the crown prince is on some national treaure type shit
>tfw he washes away jesus face to reveal the secret location of something
>presumably alexander the great or ghengis khans tombs
>tfw he gets 4 trillion worth of gold n treasure n shiet

You're retarded. The prince isn't the one who needs the money laundered. The art dealer is a front for a criminal organization.

>Jesus is a prophet in Islam.

Cultural appropriation right there. A particularly insulting kind, given that Islam is clearly a bit keen on bloodletting and Jesus was not exactly the violent type.

this painting is VERY rare, worth every penny on the open market, it's a good investment.

Payment for an extraordinarily large delivery of white slaves.

The scuttlebutt is that Leo painted himself into pix like these. Mona Lisa is supposedly a female version of himself.

Yep, big art sales are money laundering.

>this painting is VERY rare, worth every penny on the open market, it's a good investment.

I'm not debating that, but it's also the perfect cover for someone to have a squeaky clean reason for falling into nearly half a billion dollars squeaky clean. It's possible he didn't even pay for the painting, but agreed to 'purchase' it because the seller already had a fuckload of money they needed an a legitimate reason for owning.

>hur dur muh money laundering
yeah because a painting of JESUS CHRIST by LEONARDO DA VINCI couldn't possibly be a desirable asset as of & in itself, can't be worth anything at all hardly, the price must be part of some elaborate conspiracy.

Jesus is depicted to be violent in Revelations. Armageddon isn't a peaceful event.

Remind others what the New Testament claims Jesus is going to do to Jews during the second coming?

Having 450 million to blow on some bullshit. Tell me again why theyre so scared of communists

>this one of a kind painting is more rare than other one of a kind paintings

What does 'rare' mean in this context?

>Cultural appropriation right there
>Implying believing in Jesus is reserved to white people
