Re: BIG

I remember having seen Rembrandt's 'Nightwatch' in Amsterdam, a huge
picture, and a beautiful one - I don't remember wether it was under glass:
a part of this picture was actually, if I remember correctly, CUT AWAY in
some bygone century to make it fit on a certain wall.
Here in Berlin we have 'the man with the golden helmet' - or however it is
called in English: it is not all that big, and its authorship is contested
nowadays, but all this does not make it less beautifull.

I think this accounts principally also for photography, though Carl is
probably right in pointing out that one can allways paint bigger.
