There are very many versions of this picture, though this one seems to be a direct copy of an original by Massys himself. The correct title is 'Salvator Mundi' ('Saviour of the World'). In the full version, Christ is holding a globe mounted with a cross, which makes more sense of the title. Not even the cross can be seen in this version.
