[[ Pictures of Paintings ]] is a place to present art. It combines hundreds of images of paintings, frames and gallery spaces into a virtual museum designed for desktop computers. You can explore through the galleries by travelling through the frames.
It is dedicated to the free propagation of public domain paintings. I release all copyright for the images on this website.
It's been created through photoshopped pictures I've taken of paintings in museums. I’ve done my best to organise things into coherent sets and rooms to show off the art as well as possible. It's been built by only me.
Note, I've held nothing back with the edits. This project has originated from my own personal love of
retouching and re-presenting famous works of art. In a couple of cases, they're quite different from their original appearance. The frames aredance here there.Such introductions are unobtrusive by design.
It doesn't work on a phone because I don't know how to build a website. Check out the instagram instead.
So visit on your computer if you please. Maybe an app could come one day, let's see.
Yes! Although I do not own the copyright to the paintings themselves, they are almost all now in the
public domain which means that they can be used and reproduced freely. The remaining two paintings by
Salvador Dali and
Pablo Picasso do not have an expired copyright, however their reproduction here is permitted under
fair use for educational purposes, and are not available to download. Exactly 97% of the images on this website have been taken by me, so by default I own the copyright to them (which I void).
The remaining 3% have been downloaded from the websites of museums which have decided to supply high-quality scans of their public domain collections to the public for free and for any purpose, including commercial.
For more detailed information please
see the full Terms of Use for this site.This website is completely free to access. To keep the lights on, people can buy nice big prints of the paintings. The posters look sick, and you can
download the full-res images at
