108-Gigapixel 3D Microscope Scan of Vermeer Masterpiece is Largest Ever
See Vermeer's famed "Girl With a Pear Earring" like you've never seen it before.
Hirox, a leading provider of 3D digital microscope technology, has painstakingly created the world’s largest 3D scan, a super-detailed 108-gigapixel scan of Johannes Vermeer’s iconic painting, “Girl with a Pearl Earring.”
You're viewing a single thread.
Infrared multispectral imaging would be interesting to see what is under the surface, if there are any pentimentos underneath.
Can someone please ELI5, felt like I was reading the wrong language there.
“Pentimentos” just refers to the five-sided breath mints widely known to have been Vermeer’s favorite. Often trace amounts will turn up under a microscope. It’s how they know it’s authentically his.
Don't know if you're trolling, but pentimenti are small changes or corrections artists do, while drawing/painting.
