Description
Closer to Van Eyck was an interdisciplinary research project to assess the structural condition of the Ghent Altarpiece. The site contains high-resolution images and digital macrophotography of the piece. The site allows users to zoom into individual sections of the altarpiece and take a virtual peek under the paint surface by means of infrared reflectography (IRR) and x-radiography, examining the altarpiece in ways never before possible.
