The Garden of Earthly Delights
Hi-res interactive version of Bosch’s Garden of Earthly Delights.
Just outstanding, and this really is hi-res, you can see every crack and stroke, plus it has audio commentary and further reading for a number of details.
I’ve mostly picked from the pleasant side, one from the not-so-pleasant, I’ll let you explore the rest at your leisure.

Bish Bash Bosch
Google Earth now has ultra-high resolution versions (as in 14,000 million pixels) of 14 of the masterpieces from the Museo del Prado in Spain, including one of my all-time favourite works of art – Bosch’s Garden of Earthly Delights (where by all-time favourite I mean I love it though it also freaks the hell out of me).
They’ve also got a self-portrait of one of my heroes, Albrecht Dürer.
I have to admit I quickly lost interest with Google Earth when I first installed it but if they start getting more content like this then I think it could be a bit of a winner.
