This is the largest and most detailed photograph of a work of art ever.
It is 717 gigapixels, or 717 billion pixels.
The distance between two pixels is 5 micrometers (0.005 millimeters), which means that one pixel is smaller than a human red blood cell.
To create this image, a 100-megapixel Hasselblad H6D 400 MS camera took 8439 individual photos measuring 5.5cm x 4.1cm. These were then stitched together by means of artificial intelligence to form a large image.
That resulted in a file of 5.6 terabytes.
