Where the pictures come from
All paintings in this archive were made by artists who died long ago, and the works are in the public domain. The images are faithful photographic reproductions published on Wikimedia Commons, mostly by the museums that own the originals.
The images are hosted on this site so that pages load quickly and do not depend on other services. Each work links back to its source page, where you can find the full record, the owning institution and the original high-resolution file.
Texts on this site are original. The site design is the archive's own.
