In the immortal words of Keanu Reeves in several of his movies: “Whoa.”

That’s kind of the only reaction to this busy, beautiful piece of art called The Big Screen by Jeff Murray. This painting, which has been turned into limited edition prints, features almost 400 different movie references in a single image, capturing an audience of film characters watching the ultimate movie encounter.

The piece, which is only cropped above, is available now through 1 p.m. ET Thursday, December 14, at this link. It’s a timed edition, 36 x 24-inch giclée with a metallic gold border on Fotospeed platinum etching paper. It costs £130 GBP before shipping and comes with a mini-guide revealing every single reference.

In the following slideshow, see the image in full, as well as several close-ups, that mini-guide with all the answers, and even the original painting, which took two months to create.
