We ought always to thank God for you, brothers, and rightly so, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love every one of you has for each other is increasing.

TheLastSupper-Online
MILAN, Italy (AP) A high-resolution online image of Leonardo Da Vinci's "The Last Supper" now allows experts to examine details of the 15th century wall painting that they otherwise couldn't.
One example: Traces of drawings Leonardo put down before painting was completed on the wall of a Milan church.
The 16 billion-pixel high-resolution allows viewers to look at details as though they were inches from the art work. Experts say that's in contrast to regular photographs, which become grainy as you zoom in.
Curator Alberto Artioli says viewers can see how the artist made the cups transparent and also not "the state of degradation" the painting is in.
