- Thanks much appreciated :)
One day I'm going to see this in real life. Beautiful piece
- It really fills the room.
It's a stunning painting. Had the privilege to stand in front of it and it's truly breathtaking.
- Glad to hear. It's so big and vivid in real life, really surprised me!
  
  It was a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be too! The exact opposite of the Mona Lisa which was so much smaller than I expected for some reason (still not sure why I expected it to be large given it's a portrait...).
