The Louvre, the golden year of 2067. Higher quality: http://mandelwerk.deviantart.com/art/Mona-Lisa-Orbittrap-258630451 & my 5 cents about finding a masterpiece in a fractal. Opposite to some critics on the net I have a strong belief that someone some day will find a masterpiece, "Mona Lisa Class", in a fractal. The reason this has not been done yet is TIME. Fractal art is a very young art form, which until recently has been using tools corresponding to Leonardo doing his works without the invention of oil color, paintbrushes and canvas. The discovery of the Mandelbulb, Mandelbox and hybrids of all known 3D fractals really is a major breakthrough, and I am convinced someone will do a real masterpiece with these new artistic tools (Mandelbulb 3D, Mandelbulber, and the like). I just know it by the experience of my own explorations, this is an infinite universe to scrutinize. It might take a couple of hundred years, but on the other hand, I do not think Leonardo was ever in a hurry. Besides this, a masterpiece is selected to be one by TIME, not a jury, not a critic, it matures during decades and centuries. And remember none of the old masters did masterpieces only, even if some did many. In my own gallery on DA I currently show 262 images, 90% of these I consider to be snapshots, made on my journey through numerous hybrid fractals on my search for the masterpieces. 20-40 of these images I consider to be really good images, and a handful (in my own opinion) are artworks that mean something to me, and hopefully to others. I have yet to do a masterpiece, but as stated earlier, we will not know that until a couple of hundred years have passed… Until then, just relax and enjoy the ride! (The image above is definitely NOT a masterpiece, I would describe it as a snapshot turned into a statement by the help of Photoshop. ) Mandelbulb 3D, cloudy DOF made in Photoshop using my own photos.

This may not be the masterpiece but we all know who the master is for now. I always try to guess what formulas were used but never get close.
