A technique developed by Microsoft has given unique access to the world of the Old Masters, allowing people to virtually explore every aspect of a painting such as The Flagellation of Christ by Renaissance master Piero della Francesca.

"A virtual museum on the web means you work around the corridors. We think this is a little boring," said Mr Criminisi.
"How much better to be able to walk inside the painting itself," he added. [ via BBC ]
