Google Earths new Online Gallery at the Prado Museum Madrid

Monday, January 19, 2009


For those art connoisseurs or museum buffs out there that haven't yet had the privilege to have visited the  world famous Prado museum in Madrid,  can now see a large slection of the works housed at the museum on the Google Earth.

With a resolution of 14,000 megapixels (or about 1,400 times the definition of a standard 10 megapixel camera) the images of the 14 Prado masterpieces are so precise that even the individual brushstrokes can be seen, and according to the  museum you can see details  that the human eye alone is unable to see, amazing.

Google Earth's satellite and aerial photograph technology is proving invalid for us Internet travel freaks and this case is no exception. You can now explore every brush stroke ( literally)  masterpieces by the likes of Bosch, Francisco de Goya, Diego Velázquez, Peter Paul Rubens and Rembrandt. Fourteen of the gallery's finest masterpieces can now be seen online in unbelievable detail

Google as yer has no plans to extend its project with the Prado museum  or include more of the 1.000 or so works or art currently on view .

To see the high resolution pictures and the Prado museum on the Google Earth programme you will first have to download it via the Google web site.
