Portraits of the most Iconic people of all time

Webdesigner Depot recently published this post with over 100 portraits of the most iconic people of all time (or the most iconic images of all time – depending on how you look at it ).

On the ground below, a photography student named Robert Wiles managed to capture the scene minutes after her body landed on top of a parked limousine.

You can read the story behind the photograph here.

In the meantime, check out a gallery of Bernini’s most famous pieces ….
