3D Examination of the Mona Lisa

Video presented at the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec (2008)

An educational audiovisual document presenting various aspects of the painting will teach the public about the technology used by the NRC Institute for Information Technology (NRC-IIT) and the results of the 3D examination of the Mona Lisa. The results will be shown continuously in high definition on a giant plasma screen. The document produced by the NRC will show digital images of the masterpiece that Leonardo da Vinci painted over 500 years ago.
