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.”
Wonderful! The mouth is simply fantastic. And you can clearly see that he draw most of the head shape with umber or a similar color. Really interesting.
From an art science perspective, this is indeed interesting. I don’t think it’s particularly helpful, nor required, for appreciation of the subject matter. Very cool.

I really hope they’re able to scan more artwork in the future
I will scan the scream at the Munch museum in March 😱
We’re going to get so many HQ copy memes
What a great job they did! This would have been a ton of work to develop the rig, stitch and normalize.
Thank you!
It really looks amazing
Infrared multispectral imaging would be interesting to see what is under the surface, if there are any pentimentos underneath.

That’s spectacular. It must be impressive seeing that much detail in person.
Guys you just have to look at the earring, if its a star Redd is trying to sell you a fake

It allows to monitor the deterioration of paintings and to better understand potential risks. It’s a massively helpful tool for preservation efforts.
