That is incredible. A work of art in itself (the collaboration of taking 1600 photos in order to make such a detailed capture of the Last Supper), it is interesting to take a deeper look into this painting right from your computer chair.

"But it's not meant to substitute for the real thing. Seeing it on a computer screen will never be the same as standing in front of Leonardo's work."

^yet so very true^
