This painting is truly remarkable.
Even more amazing though, is that the canvas has been computerized.

When you click on the link below, a much bigger version of the computerized painting appears.
Run your cursor over the people.
The program tells you who they are - every single one of them.
BUT click on a person and you obtain the individual’s life history.

This is fascinating... Can keep you busy for hours!

@McGentrix,
I find the whole thing absolutely fascinating. I could see the concept used (obviously with drawings instead of paintings) as a tool for teaching kids different subjects.

So, where the hell is Dante?

I couldn't find him.

@InfraBlue,
He's in the upper right hand corner standing with the artists next to the wall...............wearing the red outfit with the flowers twined round his forehead.

@Phoenix32890,
Yes, this is very neat!

As you say, the concept could easily be used for other applications.

Laughing In style, the painting reminds me somewhat of The Beatles Sgt. Pepper album cover.
