Portrait Paintings in Google Earth
Your average portrait painting isn’t very large or, in the case
of the Mona Lisa, it’s surprisingly tiny. That said, we have found
one or two giant portraits which are viewable from above.
To start, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Frank Anne
Frank can be seen painted on the playground of
Anne-Frank-Realschule, a German Six-form high school.

Still in Germany, we can see a likeness of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfgang_Amadeus_Mozart Wolfgang
Amadeus Mozart painted in chalk outside
Cologne Cathedral. I think someone should
head down there and put some money in the guy’s hat.

Our
last portrait we have to admit isn’t actually a portrait
painting, but may well be a reproduction of one of
Picasso’s paintings through the medium of field.
I’ve found suggestion that the original is a portrait of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie-Thérèse_Walter Marie
Therese Walter but that might be a red herring, as I can’t find
any portraits of her that even resemble the field.
Can anyone do any better?
