Don't break it up! It might not be displayed correctly in
some browsers...
Create a client-side image map instead. Using the title=
attribute you can get a pop-up windows at least in
IExplorer, not yet in Netscape (v4.7)... or you can use
Javascript to display the information in the status line of
the browser... just an idea...

Niffty ideas, for sure.

I'm use Netscape (v4.61), maybe I should upgrade.

Javascript, eww. gross. Gag me with a spoon. *Whatever*

I must admit that ever the first version I didn't expect it to become
such a great thing (yet another Escher-interpretation...). But you've
made it into a a real post-modern masterpiece ;)
I think a larger version would be nice.
The image seems a bit crowded with the paintings all very close to each
other. This makes it look more like a late 19th centure 'salon' then a
museum. The copperlike texture also make it look slightly archaic.
Perhaps you could town down the stone structure just a little bit?
It seems you gave each image a little spotlight which I think is nice.
It isn't to clear everywhere, some images disappear a bit into darkness.
I wonder how it would look if you gave the images a higher ambient-value
(I have no idea if this works with imagemaps).
Anyway, a great technical achievement.

Have you seen Peter Houstons version of this Escher-image?

Why is that? Check out www.php.net and tell me you don't like the popups there.

What???  'first'
For sure I ignore all Escher/Dali/Picasso posts. But this one
stopped me cold

"Don't ask or you just might receive"

Just  slightly, I leave it to the artist to decide.

>This makes it look more like a late 19th centure 'salon' then a

Whow, how Right On could you be with this19th cent bit.
As if there is something wrong with this. David has it
spot on, I think.

>Anyway, a great technical achievement.
WCFM (What count for me) yea, for sure.

>Have you seen Peter Houstons version of this Escher-image?
no. should I?

Personal to Remko:
Your English is superb.
Don't let anyone tell you
otherwise.

That should've read "after the first..." or something like that.
After that I rambled on a bit but it was all meant in a positive way.

BTW whatever happened to the 'c' in my name?
;)

The last time I went to the Toledo (Ohio) Museum of Art, several years 
ago, they were doing extensive renovations on some of their galleries, 
and they had gathered all of their fine art together in a single room, 
on a single wall, floor-to-ceiling, with very little room between 
frames.  A plaque on the floor had a guide as to which paintings were 
which.  The effect was stunning, far more moving than looking at any 
one picture by itself.

Since art move beyond frames (20th century) this is not very common any
more. Notice how many modern paintings have no frame, or at most an
insignificant one, while some 17th century masterpieces are more frame
then painting. Either way it's an artistic choice with a functionality.
Makes you wonder about a monitor as frame.
