Last October 2004 Lumiere had the rare privilege to digitize Leonardo Da Vinci’s “world masterpiece” the Mona Lisa at the Research Center of the French Museums downstairs the Louvre in Paris.
We photographed her with our camera, making 13 passes of light over the painting, and capturing the following information:
13 digital files of 450 Megabytes each
6 Gigabytes of datas
