To go beyond what the naked eye can see, to reach even brushstroke level with perfect quality. You can experience all this with Bosch’s The Garden of Earthly Delights, Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring, or van Gogh’s Les Vessenots in Second Canvas Prado, Mauritshuis and Thyssen apps.
Everyone wants to have their collection digitized with the best quality and resolution, enriched with storytelling, audio-tours, infrared images…
We all want to offer our users an augmented experience when at the museum, the best art experience possible, even on a mobile or our website.
It is also extremely useful help for our restoration team in their R&D projects and an amazing tool for the education team; users not only learn while discovering but also tell their own stories.
Yes, that sounds great, but… let’s talk about the other side
super hi-resolution images of artwork must be hard to obtain, and we’d have to spend a lot of time and money on them. Not anymore.
Let us introduce you to Madpixel ROB

Here, not only will you receive the final PSB file but also it will be hosted and integrated into Second Canvas, allowing you to share the gigapixel image with the rest of your team (curators, restorers, educators…) who will be able to immediately explore it on their own computers, tablets or smartphones.
