I love when technology serves art! Here's a 100+ gigapixel scan of the Johannes Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring, revealing details invisible to the naked eye: https://www.hirox-europe.com/gigapixel/girl-with-a-pearl-earring/index.html

Steve Mould released a video explaining the advanced microscopy technique used to create this 3D relief of the painting: https://youtu.be/o-dZKBwbsis

🚨BREAKING: The art world is SHOOK as a #museum unveils a 108 billion pixel scan of 'Girl with a Pearl Earring', because obviously what #Vermeer really needed was more #pixels and some JavaScript errors. 🤦‍♂️ Because nothing says "appreciate classic art" like cramming it into a digital microscope. 🔍🎨

For a recent favorite, the way #TheWonder was lit took my breath away.
All-time, for sheer beauty of every frame, #GirlWithAPearlEarring

Reading #girlwithapearlearring (finally) and I am so impressed with the writing style of #TracyChevalier.
She paints a picture with her simple sentences that floats you through the book.
Her characters build the story themselves simply by looking at each other in a certain way. It captures my attention on every page with effortless reading, and now and then one sentence will stand out as if it is illuminated on the page - how she does this I do not know. These sentences outline hints towards the end outcome for the main character so you can glide through the book, absorbing it rather than studying it, like a boat tour around a beautiful island.
It’s a simple - clever book which has reminded me exactly why I love to read.
(I usually read sci fi, fantasy and historical fiction)
