>103 famous faces in painting

油畫描繪百位名人(圖)

An extraordinary painting, titled "Discussing the Divine Comedy with Dante" (see photo) has become the latest Internet hit, the Daily Telegraph reported Tuesday. Depicting 103 figures from world history in striking detail, the painting finds room for many famous Chinese icons such as Sun Yat-sen and Mao Zedong. The picture appears to have drawn inspiration from Raphael's Renaissance fresco The School of Athens.

據英國《每日電訊報》17日報道，最近一幅名為《與但丁討論神曲》的油畫(見圖)在網上熱傳。該畫生動地描繪了103位世界名人，孫中山、毛澤東在內的多名中國人都出現在畫中。分析人士指出，這幅畫的創作者可能是從意大利畫家拉斐爾的名作《雅典學派》中獲得了靈感。
