Diego Rivera's Long Mural

 Diego Rivera painted an astonishing number of large murals, but perhaps none is more striking than the 51-foot long "Dream of a Sunday Afternoon in the Alameda Central", which depicts famous people and events in Mexican history. Rather that attempting to fit it all into one long photo, I've presented three sections. In the middle section (actually near the middle of the complete mural), next to the skeleton, Rivera depicts himself as a young boy, with Frida Kahlo standing behind him.
