[UPDATE: Here’s Google’s post about the new layer, and a video which shows how they captured the paintings in ultra-high resolution using digital photography.] Google has added a new layer tonight. The layer is for the “Museo Nacional del Prado” in Madrid, Spain. This layer is special because it shows you a selection of 14 paintings from the museum which have been scanned at ultra-high resolution.
