In the best case, loading the raw data out of a 41141 x 3317 pixel image will use ~409 MB of memory. In practice, it
will use a lot more than that for various reasons. For example, creating an image of that size in GIMP will use ~1.5 GB
of memory.
How much memory do you have in your system?

I get "pygame.error Out of memory" on pygame.image.load() of a 55.1 MB JPG

What is the biggest image pygame can load?
Is there any way of allocating more memory so that this image can be loaded?
