Can't get to Milan to see Leonardo Da
Vinci's masterpiece "The Last Supper?" As of Saturday, all you
need is an Internet connection. Officials put online an image of
the "Last Supper" at 16 billion pixels - 1,600 times stronger
than the images taken with the typical 10 million pixel digital
camera.
The high resolution will allow experts to examine details of the
15th century wall painting that they otherwise could not -
including traces of drawings Leonardo put down before painting.
Now that a detailed copy of Leonardo Da Vinci's 'The Last Supper' is online, experts are likely to discover more about the famous 15th-century painting. In July, Slavisa Pesci claimed he found hidden figures in it.
