Do you think many 24-megapixel SLRs the latest market? Perhaps you think the 60-megapixel digital back is some outrageous? Just wait to see gigapixel images Google presented today at the Prado Museum in Madrid.

No less than 14 gigapixels is the largest of the images have been made. This photo of the 14 paintings representing the museum, but not just any photo. Work the company has undertaken Madpixel , which has divided each frame into a grid and has photographed sector after sector to join them as if it were an overview.

But an overview, in the case of The Garden of Earthly Delights by Hieronymus Bosch consists of no less than 1,653 photographs chained, as told in the presentation Clara Rivera, Project Coordinator and author of the idea to create a composite image of 156,547 x 89,116 pixels, which makes a total of about 14 gigapixels.

The work has been meticulous, drawing on the nights of eight months to more than 8,000 pictures of the 14 works. For this automated robots have been used for precise shifting with each new photo camera, after ensuring that match perfectly, respecting proportions.

The photos will be up later on Google Earth, using its technology to charge higher resolution versions as we approach, being able to see details of the table to being in front of the us would go unnoticed.

To see them you have several options:
