QS 175

February 18th, 2010

Ok, since nobody has cracked yesterday’s question, I’ll raise the stakes. What I will do is have a four pointer today as well. And the answer to today’s question along with that to yesterday’s (I mean the grand connects) would now form part of another theme (Stage three, in effect). This would probably continue for the next few days until either I run out of enthu or enough people have cracked the stage three, whichever happens first. So here’s today’s question

A
What other famous painting, according to many scholars, would be a part of this list? May not really be exhaustive, simply because there has so far been no concrete evidence to prove the claim.
