The huge image is the highest definition photograph available anywhere in the
world, according to HAL9000.
Viewers can enlarge any portion of the painting, providing a detailed view of
sections of the masterpiece down to one square millimetre.
The Last Supper depicts Christ predicting that one of his apostles
will betray him, and is one the most discussed and controversial works of art of
all time thanks to
Dan
Brown's best selling novel
The
Da Vinci Code.
Some aficionados even believe that the painting proves that Christ married
Mary Magdelene, with whom he subsequently fathered a child.
The 500 year-old mural recently inspired further theoretical controversy when
information technologist and amateur scholar Slavisa Pesci posited that the
superimposition of the mural with its mirror-image created two further images:
one resembling a Templar knight, the other a young child.
Vincenzo Mirarchi, general manager of HAL9000, told
Reuters
that the decision to post the image on its website was motivated by art
appreciation rather than creating further controversy surrounding the meaning of
the mural.
