El Museo Nacional de Ámsterdam dio a conocer la fotografía más grande y detallada de "La ronda de noche", pintura del maestro holandés Rembrandt, en la página web de la institución, imagen que permitirá ampliarse para descubrir pinceladas individuales e incluso partículas de pigmento en la pintura de la obra.
The Rijksmuseum’s imaging team led by datascientist Robert Erdmann made this photograph of The Night Watch from a total of 528 exposures. The 24 rows of 22 pictures were stitched together digitally with the aid of neural networks. The final image is made up of 44.8 gigapixels (44,804,687,500 pixels), and the distance between each pixel is 20 micrometres (0.02 mm). This enables the scientists to study the painting in detail remotely. The image will also be used to accurately track any future ageing processes taking place in the painting.
