Wow - a truly wonderful thing! Awesome.
I can VERY strongly recommend watching the whole of the following programme - and episodes 2 and 3 if you can find them.
But this extract tells us much regarding what the original painting was about. Who really knew there were 22 people in the picture? Dr James Fox provides many more insights.
(Cued up at the relevant point, but the segment immediately prior to this is all about Hokusai if you do not want to watch the whole programme. Starts at 38.20. And ignore the screenshot below - it IS cued up for the right piece.)
