Mona latte: Da Vinci's Lisa masterpiece recreated using cups of coffee
This stunning recreation of the Mona Lisa has been made with a staggering 3,604 cups of coffee - and 564 pints of milk.
The different colours were created by adding varying amounts of milk to each cup of black coffee.
It measures an impressive 20ft by13ft – nearly ten times the size of Leonardo da Vinci’s original masterpiece - and took a team of eight people three hours to complete.
‘Once we had the idea of creating an image out of coffee cups we searched for something iconic to reproduce - and opted for the most iconic painting in history.
‘The Mona Lisa has been reproduced so many times in so many different mediums but, as far as we know, never out of coffee.
‘The result was fantastic.
‘After much planning it was great to see if coming together so well and the 130,000 people who attended the event certainly enjoyed it.’
Watch the video below showing how the coffee became art
