“discussing the divine comedy with dante” by Dai Dudu, Li Tiezi, and Zhang An

Every person in this photo is more or less a famous/great person or a person of power. There are about 103 people total. The painting is oil on canvas. Because the artist doesn't have a list of who is who or just names in general I've browsed the web in search of names. Now most my names listed will prob be correct (or close guesses), but there are bound to be mistakes and many of them I haven't looked up and checked personally (I'm going on the popular belief with some of these) cause I just don't have time. So basically if any names are mixed up, misspelled or if you think you know who someone is just let me know :)

Also there are 5 Unknown people. A group of people in a line at the top are also unknown, and then we have landmarks also at the top.

I may thing the unknown4 is "Marie Curie" and the unknown5 "Vladimir Lenin".
For Honecker, I was more thinking about "Nelson Mandela".
By the way, you have twice "Prince Charles" (guess which one is wrong :) )
You did a great job... thanks for the help I was stacked around 65!!!

Hi,
I think that unknown4 is Marie Curie,
and the unknown5 is Vladimir Ilich Uliánov aka "Lenin".
I consider seriously that the person labeled as Erich Honecker is Jose Antonio Samaranch (last IOC chairman), King Solomon is Yul Brynner (the actor), General G. Custer may be Lord Kitchener and Tsar Peter I is Edgar A. Poe.

Lenin is sure but the small face below his hand is Unknown5. The same is as a mistake prinz Charles.

Julius Ceasar is more like Spartacus
compare (http://azbreakfastclub.org/images/spartacus.jpg) with Kirk Douglas - actor

Just to confirm Zhou Enlai you can check in Encyclopedia (http://cache-media.britannica.com.cdnetworks.net/eb-media/94/114894-004-66C93E68.jpg)

I doubt with General George Custer, looks more like Maxim Gorky see (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Painting_of_maxim_gorki.jpg)

Good luck detectives
