    Western and eastern eyes look differently at fine art. Test the Mirror(Click the Info button near the mirror start button to learn the details)

    When you look at a picture of e.g. Rembrandt you can click his name under the picture or a theme selection in the comments below the key menu. That brings you to the corresponding pictures, e.g. "all Rembrandts".

    Fullscreen view
    You see one of the two biggest picture sizes, the second biggest loads faster.
    On the first start you see the command menu.
    Press the "k" key to put it on and off (not on Mac and Unix).
    Soft zooming mode
    At least 256MB Ram are needed. Soft zooming is an advanced PC function taking a lot of computer power.
    The start is slow. We are sorry about that.
    Press the "start zoom" to enter this mode.
    Our hi-res soft zoom and pan mode gives you smooth zoom from zero to big magnifying.
    Zoom up: Place the mouse into the picture. Click or hold the left mouse button.
    Zoom down: Ctrl-key and mouse button.
    Pan: Move the mouse towards the frame. No click or push is needed.
    The key "k" turns the command menu on and off (not on Mac and Unix). When the menu is off, you use the control keys.
    e or q turns the zoom off and you return to the picture view.
