Venetians proudly claim this to be the largest painting on canvas in the world. (That's right: not a fresco, but painted on a gigantic canvas stretching over the entire church ceiling.)
This post is intended to investigate the truth value of this claim. Whoever spots a larger canvas painting anywhere in the world is welcome to leave a comment.
Wow!!! How lucky I am to see this painting! Really Fabulous. Thanx to the blog owner for introducing this great painting.
