I wonder if this picture would translate to a lithopane?
It seems these pictures look better smaller as the "hidden" images are very obvious when enlarged although some people can stare at the pic and never see the obvious.
Here is the story-There are 9 people in this picture, called The Generals Family, which is a work by the Mexican artist Octavio Ocampo. There are nine different faces in this picture combining to make up the face of the General and to tell the story and the secrets of his life. Although perceived as a distinguished gentleman of solid stock, the images of his past betray his emergence from a peasant family and his impoverished beginnings. We see his mother and father, his wife and other members of his family, even his dog (masquerading as his hand) and as you study the painting you see behind the facade and read the story of a remarkable life...
how many do you see? Would the fact of a litho being one color diminish the ability to percieve the other images?:cool:
