Since October, The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci, the most famous, probably the most discussed and most controversial work of the Italian master, declared a World Heritage work of art and registered at the UNESCO worldwide sites, can be seen by all, in all its details, on the website of HAL9000, an organization providing tools for works of art restoration and viewing.

The online visualisation system of the highest definition photograph ever in the world (16 billion pixels) in fact lets viewers enlarge and observe any portion of the painting, giving them a clear view of sections down to as little as one millimetre square.

Go to the website of the church of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, which houses The Last Supper by Leonardo Da Vinci.
