As Open Culture notes, the Italian web site Haltadefinizione has a unique way to view six masterpieces from the famous Uffizi Gallery in Florence.
Each painting can be viewed in super high resolution—close to 28 billion pixels, a resolution 3,000 times greater than your normal digital photo—providing the ability to examine the details with an unprecedented closeness.
The paintings featured here include Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus ; Leonardo da Vinci’s Annunciation and The Last Supper ; Verrocchio, The Baptism of Christ by Verrocchio and da Vinci; Caravaggio’s Bacchus ; and the Portrait of Eleonora of Toledo by Bronzino.
You have a decision to make: double or nothing.
For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.
In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.
So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?
Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
