The Most Valuable Painting in the World's History

Notice I did not say "the most beautiful painting" in the world's history - nor even the most sought after. Its value is in historical content. Gaze carefully upon the exhibited painting...you are looking upon the last (time documented, one-minute) painting of the past 1,000 years!

If history holds no meaning for you, read no further...

Otherwise, continue on to read of this historical masterpiece of the ages!
