What is the most seen photograph in the world?
The most frequently viewed photograph in the world does not deal with a famous painting or a photo of historical value, but with a simple photograph from just twenty-eight years ago (1996).
It is about the background of Windows XP-photo above on the left side. The right side is the same place, but as it looks today.
Over the years, there have been multiple attempts to reproduce the background, but they have always failed. Today, in fact, there is no longer that meadow, but a vineyard. This makes that photo even more unique.
