The night view was painted on a 3.79×4.53m canvas. With oil paintings drawn 350 years ago, deterioration is a problem. This site is a project that was shot and saved at a resolution of 4,447 billion,687,500 pixels as a snapshot to prevent deterioration in the work. It is finished by connecting 528 photos in 24 rows by 22 columns and processing them into one picture through a neural network. In addition, through macrofluorescence X-ray analysis, the night view was scanned every inch, and elemental analysis, such as calcium, iron, and potassium, was conducted.
