　　International Online Special: According to the British "Daily Telegraph" reported on March 17, a recent oil painting called "Discussing the Divine Comedy with Dante" was widely circulated on the Internet. This oil painting depicts the images of 103 world-famous figures with exquisite brushwork, and many Chinese, including Sun Yat-sen and Chairman Mao, appeared in this painting.

　　Chairman Mao sat in the middle and Li Baizheng sighed.

　　This oil painting is 6 meters long and 2.6 meters high, with 103 world celebrities. The Great Wall of Wan Li in China, the Egyptian pyramids, Stonehenge in Britain and other landmarks appear in the oil painting as the background.

　　Among the 103 celebrities, Chairman Mao, the great leader of China, sat at the round table in the middle of the painting and smoked. Behind him stood Premier Zhou Enlai, who was beloved by Chinese people. Marx and Lenin are having in-depth exchanges; Genghis Khan and Napoleon are neck and neck; Former US President George W. Bush holds a telescope, and bin Laden stands behind him quietly. Tojo hideki knelt before Qin Shihuang, as if in repentance. In addition, Li Bai, a great poet of the ancient Tang Dynasty in China, leaned back in his chair and sighed, with a wine bottle and a modern typewriter in front of him.

　　Joseph Stalin, the leader of the former Soviet Union, and Leonardo da Vinci, a great Italian Renaissance painter, are talking attentively. Former Russian President and current Prime Minister Vladimir Putin sat on the floor next to boxing champion mike tyson; Margaret Thatcher, the former British Prime Minister, was staring at everything with a handbag on her back.

　　In addition to celebrities, Dolly, the cloned sheep, also appears in this painting. In addition, the crystallization of human wisdom, such as Simuwu Dafang Ding, phonograph and atomic bomb, are also displayed in the painting.

　　Netizens from all over the world speculated that the creator was Chinese.

　　Who is the author of this painting? At present, netizens are scrambling to discuss it. Analysts pointed out that the creator of this painting may have been inspired by Italian painter Raphael’s masterpiece Athens School. But in Raphael’s famous paintings, the characters are all ancient philosophers. Although the characters in this painting are all world celebrities, there is no distinction between modern and ancient times.

　　However, sharp-eyed netizens still found some clues. Most of the characters in the painting are depicted in profile, and only a few people such as Chairman Mao painted the whole picture. Therefore, it is speculated that the author of this painting may be from China. In addition, there are three Chinese in the upper right corner of this painting. They are dressed in modern clothes, but many netizens in the world don’t recognize who they are. Until recently, this secret was solved. These three people are Dai Doudou, director of China Artists Association, Li Tiezi, a famous contemporary oil painter, and Zhang Anjun. Standing next to them is the Italian poet Dante.

　　Alastair Shuke, a British artist, believes that this oil painting reflects the trend of contemporary China artists to adapt to western artistic styles and themes. But Dante leads us to see the deep "hell", but this painting leads modern people to appreciate the "celebrity paradise".
