> **[Ultima Cena | Haltadefinizione](https://www.haltadefinizione.com/visualizzatore/opera/ultima-cena-leonardo-da-vinci)** > > | Haltadefinizione Supposedly the highest definition digital picture in the world. Constructed after a 20 year restoration of the work. > The latest cleaning, which began in 1979 and lasted 20 years, made great gains in revealing color and detail, but a more thorough cleaning could destroy the work beyond recognition. > The gains and losses are now visible on an Internet close-up, following the posting of a 16-billion-pixel image of the work. The image, 1,600 times more detailed than those taken with a 10-mega-pixel digital camera, is the world’s highest definition photograph, says Mauro Gavinelli, the project’s technical supervisor. > The image is visible at [www.haltadefinizione.com](http://www.haltadefinizione.com/) and allows art lovers to view details of the 15th-century painting as though they were inches away from the work. > Gavinelli and his team at HAL9000, a company specializing in art photography, put together 1,677 panoramic images of the 15-by-29-foot depiction of the moment when [Jesus](http://dsc.discovery.com/news/2007/02/25/tomb_arc.html?category=archaeology&guid=20070225073000) tells his Apostles that one of them will betray him. > The resulting images will be used to monitor the state of the painting’s degradation. Meanwhile, they have already revealed unknown details, said Gavinelli. > “For example…a close-up reveals the gold flake Leonardo applied, despite believing that artists should be able to make paint glitter like gold,” Gavinelli told Discovery News. > Other close-ups show how Leonardo made the transparent cups, the church bell tower and shrubs outside the windows, and the patterns and wrinkles in the tablecloth – including a tiny peacock “embroidered” into it. > For those who can’t get enough of the enigmas surrounding da Vinci and his work, there couldn’t be a better tool.

:lol: Somehow I don’t think that extreme of a closeup would be that great. The insides of a chick’s pores don’t really do anything for me. ---
