Google Art Project Launches

Google always find the very best way to represent information, be it search results; map information or e-mail message tags.  Their new Art Project is no exception.  It's the perfect way to enjoy the very best paintings online.

Google Art Project allows you to explore and view hundreds of masterpieces from galleries all over the world.  The method it provides for examining each artwork will be familiar to anyone who has used Google Maps: Drag and Zoom.  They are displayed on a black background to emphasise the colours on a screen and the details is absolutely amazing.

But, I'm sure the model sitting for this work should have completely removed her headphones before the artist started painting... how rude!
