>103 famous faces in painting

油画描绘百位名人(图)

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.

据英国《每日电讯报》17日报道，最近一幅名为《与但丁讨论神曲》的油画(见图)在网上热传。该画生动地描绘了103位世界名人，孙中山、毛泽东在内的多名中国人都出现在画中。分析人士指出，这幅画的创作者可能是从意大利画家拉斐尔的名作《雅典学派》中获得了灵感。
