I can't imagine what this is going to look like but come Saturday we'll all get to feast our eyes on Leonardo Da Vinci's masterpiece, The Last Supper through a glorious 16 Billion-Pixel image! (no mistake - i really meant BILLION).
The painting, which is displayed in Milan's Church of Santa Maria dell Grazie, was made accessible through a website on Saturday — the image is 1,600 times more detailed than images taken with a typical digital camera, which have 10 million pixels.
Curator Alberto Artioli said:
“You can see how Leonardo made the cups transparent, something you can’t ordinarily see. You can also note the state of degradation the painting is in“
The high resolution image will allow viewers to examine details as if they were a few centimetres from the painting, which measures 4.6 metres by 8.8 metres (15 by 29 feet).

160亿像素的图片！——达芬奇的《最后的晚餐》
我无法想象在即将到来的周六，当我们享受着里奥纳多 达芬奇的旷世杰作——宏大壮丽的160亿像素的《最后的晚餐》所带来的视觉盛宴时的情景。（没错，我确实说的是十亿）这幅被画在米兰的圣玛丽亚感恩教堂的油画，周六的时候通过一个网站被广泛传播——这幅图片的细节比传统的1000万像素数码相机拍摄的图片多1600倍。
馆长艾尔伯特 阿特奥里说：
你可以看得到里奥纳多怎么使那些酒杯变得清晰，以及一些你平时看不到的东西。当然
你也能够注意到油画中那些老化的情形。
这幅高分辨率的画作将允许浏览者来检视画中几厘米的细节，他们会被显示为4.6米×8.8米（15英尺×29英尺）大小。
