Way Big "Last Supper"

There's a huge new reproduction of "The Last Supper" on line, another bookmark for your "pixels vs. print" folder:

"At 16 billion pixels, the image is 1,600 times stronger than those produced by a typical 10 million pixel digital camera.

The high-resolution allows art lovers to view details of the 15th century painting as though they were centimetres away from the work.

Details of the painting that can now been seen include traces of drawings Leonardo put down before the painting.

The move will no doubt spark excitement among conspiracy theorists, who have long debated the content of the Last Supper.

In July, an Italian amateur scholar claimed the painting contained a hidden image of a woman holding a child.

The figure, he said, appeared when the fresco was superimposed with its mirror image and both were made partially transparent." [Telegraph]
