Just found this site that allows one to see ultra high resolution images of some of the world’s greatest art.
Update: Not all the art is in equal resolution, but The Starry Night is in astoundingly high resolution.
Pretty cool. Thanks for posting!
Holy crap. You can zoom in so far. It’s amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Wow…my gast has been flabbered.
It’s amazing to see how much of Starry Night’s canvas is visible.
Is “Starry Night” in the public domain? I’d love to get a high resolution version of this.
My brother showed me that last night. Un-freaking-believable.
Very cool stuff-- go to the National Gallery and check out Holbein’s Ambassadors.
This is the sort of thing that makes the Internet worthwhile.
Then I go read Yahoo! Answers and get depressed all over again. 
I am squealing like a schoolgirl showing all these paintings to my sweetie. For someone like me who will probably never see these in real life being able to scroll so close you can see the pattern of the canvas underneath, this is just amazing.
…and they sure wouldn’t let you get anywhere near this close in real life.
There are so many great pictures but I thought this one was particularly interesting from a, I don’t know, sociological? point of view. In these days when pictures of celebrity “baby bumps” are everywhere, it’s hard to remember a time when you couldn’t say the word “pregnant” on TV and it was considered a scandal when Lucille Ball appeared on her show pregnant.
Here’s a woman in 1595 who had her portrait painted in late-term pregnancy, which is pretty cool. To me.
