    Good heavens, that image is huge!

    I'm embarrassed by how many of the Asian faces I don't recognize.
    It certainly has a lot of interesting folks and unusual juxtapositions. I like how Van Gogh is standing behind Tulouse-Lautrec and either Picasso or Georges Braque (it's probably supposed to be Picasso but doesn't quite look like him to me) over on the right side.

    I want to know who the heck that is peeking out from under the table by Shirley Temple's feet!

    All of my friends can't identify all the Asians in the picture either ^^, though many of them hold Chinese or Taiwanese passport.
    I just found the same picture on another forum but with the people numbered, hope it will make the recognition of them easier.

    I think the man who was on his knees holding a cubist/surrealist painting (No.80) on the right of Tulouse Lautrec (No. 76) is Marcel Duchamp.

    But Marcel Duchamp was not a Cubist. It does look like Duchamp, though.
    But the guy by Shirley Temple's feet (#33) doesn't look at all like Harry Houdini, Han Solo.

    4. Either Socrates or Plato.
    11. Lenin
    13. Benito Mussolini?
    17. Ramses the Great?
    26. Vladimir Putin, president of Russia
    27. Margaret Thatcher
    34. Winston Churchill
    35. Ernest Hemingway
    36. Looks like Queen Elizabeth II, but why is she wearing an 18th-century dress?
    38. Shirley Temple
    43. Stalin
    48. Karl Marx
    54. Napoleon Bonaparte
    59. Che Guevara
    75. Luciano Pavarotti

    If #66 is supposed to be Marilyn Monroe, then what number is Yassir Arafat?

    I believe that's Marlon Brando.

    I don't know if Marcel Duchamp was a Cubist but some of his works bear characteristics of Cubism. Anyway No.80 was holding a Duchamp's painting whose name is Bride so he must be Duchamp. The person who numbered the people in this picture missed Y. Arafat, his number should be 103 :P.

    No. 64 looks like Hua Tuo, and no. 100 looks like Zheng Chenggong. But I'm not sure. Many taoists wear that kind of robe, and no. 100 has a standard armor for a general.

    Is #53, the drunken Poet, Li Bai?

    23 might be Christopher Columbus?

    #2 is Audrey Hepburn from her role Breakfast at Tiffany.

    If it is supposed to be Audrey Hepburn, it's a terrible likeness. The hair and costume look like her, but the face doesn't look like her at all.

    53 - Li Bai, the Poem God of China, he went to the tower in my avatar intending to write a timeless poem about it on one of its walls but gave up without doing anything after seeing a poem, whose the last line is my signature, by an obscure-then poet written on the wall already.
    57 - Mao Zedong, the man who sabotaged China much more than he built it, the predecessor of 28, the archenemy of 32, the admirer of 36, the 'boss' of 58.
    58 - Zhou Enlai, the henchman of 57, a clever politician who was at times successful in dissuading 57 from doing stupid things.
    63 - Laozi, the founder of Daoism, his Daodejing was the base for all Taoist martial arts.
    64 - Confucius, the most influential Chinese philosopher.

    19 - Charles de Gaulle, a famous French general during World War 2.
    26 - Vladimir Putin, the de-facto leader of Russia, I admire his iron will, hopefully someday he will press the nuclear button of Russia to start World War 3.
    34 - Winston Churchill, Hitler's pain in the butt.
    40 - Oppenheimer - the man who had a pivotal role in creating the first A-bomb.
    43 - Joseph Stalin, the greatest battle in history, the Battle of Stalingrad, was named after him, he was a half-dumb-half-great leader but without him the Germans would have been ruling the world by now.
    46 - Einstein, thanks to his genius mankind succeeded in making nukes.
    47 - Mozart.
    48 - Karl Marx, the biggest commie and the greatest day-dreamer in history.

    The picture must be created by a Chinese. What the hell is Lei Feng doing in there? Who, who is not a Chinese (or a closely related ethnicity), would know Lei Feng?
