There are now 14 masterpieces, 14 quality pieces, from the Del Prado museum in Madrid visible on Google Earth in great detail. The paintings have been photographed with a resolution of 14-gigapixel (1400 times as much as the average consumer digital camera). Anyone who looks up the museum on Google Earth will see an icon. By clicking on it you get to see the masterpieces. Clicking again brings the user to the painting.
