About this painting
The world is missing from his hand. A Salvator Mundi holds a cross-topped globe, as the Met's Memling-workshop version does; the Web Gallery of Art reads this one as a Salvator Mundi "without the attributes of his power." Stripped of them, the hand can only bless.
The other comes forward onto the painted frame. The panel becomes a window with someone behind it — the Norton Simon calls the picture a blend of icon formality and portrait realism, fifteen inches high, designed to promote private worship and prayer.
He rules no world. He holds the edge of a frame.
