It’s Google Maps for amazing works of art!
And make sure to watch the video on the left side of the page . . . very cool look at how its done.
You can zoom in and in ultra high resolution investigate all the details of The Garden of Earthly Delights (a favorite of some I know). See the brush strokes that make the lace and beard of El Greco’s The Nobleman with his Hand on his Chest. Take a look at The Three Graces by Rubens. 14 different paints to get closer to than you’ve ever imagined.
