Artworks discover Google Maps

Recently, Clara Rivera Rodriguez (in Google’s Lat Long blog) referred to a new layer in Google Earth – for the Prado Museum. Using this, one can observe fourteen famous artworks in the Madrid (Spain) art museum, from close range. This also works with Google Maps.

Using Google Maps, viewers without Google Earth are also able to have a full ‘art experience.’ The masterpieces, according to Rivera Rodriguez, were photographed in very high resolution – some reaching as much as 14 gigapixels. This allows for extreme enlargement where the smallest details can be examined.
