i found it the other day, anyone got the name of it?

EDIT: If you don't we could have a game of naming everyone in it.

Dropped the IMG tags.

No idea, but that is now my new background. Thanks.

[Lazer Bomb]

"A Painting Showing Every Person in this Painting" is my guess.

Dunno, but it's awesome.

Biblical characters
Einstein
Asian warriors....

[Impending Doom]

From left to right, I recognize...
Charlie Chaplain
Adolf Hitler
Shirley Temple(?)
Albert Einstein
Ghandi
I think I see Winston Churchill talking to Confucius

That's about all I can pick out from memory.

Not a clue who painted it. Where did you find it?

[Lazer Bomb]

I see Abraham Lincoln in there.

[Torak]

It has Guan Yu, but no Lu Bu?

Also, I'm shocked to not see Miyamoto Musashi.

[Kagus]

Wow.  That painting is...  Well, just about everything.

Bruce Lee, Marlon Brando, van Gogh, Prince Charles, Mother Theresa...  And George Bush.

[Torak]

That looks like it would be one hell of a get-together.

Also, anyone notice the guy that looks like GWB looking through a hand telescope at Saddam?

[Kagus]

That's a bit of a stretch...  There happen to be quite a few people in between them.  I thought he was looking at the camel's butt.

I found Nietzsche talking with Karl Marx, however.

[Cthulhu]

RIFT PWNED!

Alright, left to right, top to bottom, I see the following, performing the following actions

Socrates reading a scroll
Sir Francis Drake, or maybe Nikolai Lenin, looking rather dashing.
Charlie Chaplin looking like an illegal immigrant.
Genghis Khan? holding a guisarme.
Hitler looking angry.
Hussein preparing an awkward turtle.
Mike Tyson? with sciatica.
Roosevelt looking angry.
Freud, playing cards.
Clinton, holding a squid?
Ugh, that French guy looks so familiar...
Margaret Thatcher?  Feeling herself up?
Bruce Lee, waving at the camera.
Winston Churchill, holding a bird and looking very devious.
Indiana Jones, or maybe John Wayne, smoking.
Elvis, holding a guitar
Stalin, comforting a very familiar crying guy.
Einstein, just sitting there.
Karl Marx, proposing some bizarre sexual frolic to Nietzsche.
Lincoln, looking very smug.
Mao Tse-Tung, smoking.
Don Corleone, sticking his head really far forward.
Marilyn Monroe?  Just her head.
Gandhi, just standing there, trying to act peaceful.
Caesar, in statue form?
Kareem Abdul Jabar? sitting and smiling.
Jackie Chan, waving his finger.
Mother Teresa, being very incorporeal.

That's everyone I recognize, although there were a bunch that looked familiar.  Several of them I thought I recognized, and confirmed on Google images.  Feel free to correct or confirm the ones I got wrong or was unsure on.

[DreaDFanG]

Hum...odd...I've seen this before...

[Kagus]

Ha ha, I just saw Che Guevara standing next to Napoleon.  This is some painting.

[Cthulhu]

I knew horse guy and gun guy looked familiar.

[a1s]

that's a pretty recent picture. That guy near Tyson is V.V. Putin- the former president of Russia. That means it was painted in this millennium at least.

among the unnamed:
William Shakespeare
Yasir Arafat
Pele (Edison Arantes do Nascimento)
Charles André Joseph Marie de Gaulle

possibly:
Benito Mussolini
Bruce Lee
