(picture by way of Rijksmuseum)
Take a look at this new high-resolution picture of Rembrandt’s 1642 portray The Evening Watch.
The method behind this picture required each new expertise and unimaginable precision, leaving little or no room for error. I can nearly hear a decent and reserved sigh of enjoyment from artwork conservationists throughout the globe.
The brand new high-resolution picture of The Evening Watch represents a serious advance within the cutting-edge for imaging work, setting information for each the decision and the whole measurement of the picture. The sampling decision is 5 µm (0.005 mm), that means that every pixel covers an space of the portray that’s smaller than a human purple blood cell. Given the big measurement of The Evening Watch, this leads to a really monumental picture: it’s 925,000 by 775,000 pixels – 717 gigapixels – with a file measurement of 5.6 TB!
