VISIT THE PAINTINGS IN PRADO MUSEUM THROUGH GOOGLE EARTH.

Google launches the Prado layer in Google Earth allowing you to explore highly detailed photographic images of fourteen of the Prado Museum's masterpieces. The Prado Museum in Madrid is one of Spain's most visited destinations and via the Google Earth layer you can view and learn about its most famous paintings such s The Maids of Honor (Las Meninas) or The Three Graces (Las Tres Gracias)
Museo Prado layer in Google Earth


The Prado Museum has become the first art gallery in the world to provideaccess to and navigation of its Collection in Google Earth.  Using Google Earth, art historians, students and tourists everywhere can zoom
in on and explore the finer details of the artist's brushwork that can be easily missed at first glance.

The paintings have been photographed in very high resolution and contain as many as 14,000 million pixels (14 gigapixels). With this high level resolution you areable to see fine details such as the tiny bee on a flower in The Three Graces (Las Tres Gracias), delicate tears on the faces of the figures in The Descent from the Cross (El Descendimiento ) and complex figures in The Garden of Earthly Delights (El Jardin de las Delicias)
The Google Earth Prado layer also includes 3D models which allow you to flyaround the Prado buildings to experience the museum as if you were actually there.

To view the layer, select 3D buildings from the left panel and type 'Prado' in the 'fly to' search box.  You will thenbe transported to the Prado Museum in 3D

The detail, above, showing a tear fall from the eye of an onlooker as
the Body of Christ is taken down from the Cross, is from the
masterpiece The Descent of Christ from the Cross by Van der Weyden, which is displayed in El Prado, Madrid.where you can click on an icon
to view the masterpieces.

People wanting to view the masterpieces must first download and install Google Earth. They need to enable the programme’s 3D option and then travel to Madrid and click the button marking the Prado building.

The images were sewn together digitally from more than 8,000 high resolution photographs taken over six months.

Some of the masterpieces, such as the 3.3 by 2.8 metre portrait of Charles V, are so huge that it is impossible to get close enough to the original to see some details. “You would need a three-metre-high step-ladder,” said Clara Rivera of Google, who thought up the idea of a gigapixel gallery.
