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.
