Written by Oscar Holland, CNNThe long-awaited unveiling of the world's most expensive painting, Leonardo da Vinci's "Salvator Mundi," has been postponed, according to Abu Dhabi's Department of Culture and Tourism. Dating back to around 1500, "Salvator Mundi" is one of fewer than 20 known Leonardo works in existence. "Salvator Mundi" on display in London before being auctioned at Christie's New York last year.

Landrus' findings are set to be published later this week, in an update to his 2006 book, "Leonardo da Vinci."
