what is the biggest and most detailed painting you have ever seen?
i know, the painting being large in size does not necessarily mean it's detailed. small paintings can be detailed too.
but that's not the question. i ask for a painting that is both big in size and especially attentive in detailing.
Pretty much any of Ruan Jia's and probably Pollock. Pollock's shit is huge.
yep, Pollock. and that paintig with detail reflection
Raft of the medusa by Gericault, I'd read about it before but when I saw it in person at the Louvre it blew my mind with its scale and detail. The complexity of the composition and interweaving figures is incredible.
F E Church's The Heart of the Andes is 3 by 1.5 metres and is quiet detailed.
