Last Supper gets 16bn pixel boost
Quote:
A 16 billion pixel image of Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper has been posted on the internet, giving art lovers a detailed view of the 15th Century work.
The image is 1,600 times more detailed than those taken with a typical 10 million pixel digital camera.

Re: Last Supper gets 16bn pixel boost
By gum it shows what a bad craftsman da Vinci was...so much of his art was been let down/lost by his poor preparation.  It makes restoration so much harder.
Even so what survives is pretty amazing though I find it disappointing that the Mona Lisa is given so much attention compared to other works.

Re: Last Supper gets 16bn pixel boost
I dont think its slow, zooming from 5% to 10% it takes about 4 seconds to reload the image. Mind you my 4mb BB is virtually faultless

Re: Last Supper gets 16bn pixel boost
Da Vinci is one of he greatest living humans.
He invented the concept of a helicopter, some 400 years before planes had been invented.
His drawing of human antomony has been used by the medical proffesion due to it high level of detail.
