Jim's Fine Art Collection

The first significant image collections on Jim Grallan's site are those of 19th century American, Dutch, English, & French painters, especially impressionists such as Edgar Degas, Claude Monet and Vincent van Gogh. But there are many 20th-century painters as well, such as Mark Chagall, Edward Hopper, Wassily Kandinsky and Henri Matisse. Jim's Fine Art Collection is not yet complete, but 2,711 works from 147 artists are in the collection now -- more than 5,000 remain to be added by Jim in the near future.

Fine Art Museum of San Francisco: Imagebase

The presumably largest WWW art archive with approximately 60.000 pictures and search tools now is online, presented by the Fine Art Museum of San Francisco. Search results with art works are first presented as small thumbnails and then can be loaded as large size images. Furthermore there are always special art exhibitions online.

   
Web Gallery of Art

One more image archive: mainly artists from the period 1200-1700 are represented here, now with 3,000 images: Altdorfer and Cranach, Duerer and van Eyck. The site offers guided tours, small thumbnail graphics, large JPGs and for many artists detailed biographies as well. This is a competitor with the Web Museum, at least for the field of medieval art and Renaissance!

 
   
 
SILS Art Image Browser

A new image archive with a great number of paintings, drawings and sculptures. Artists from all historical eras through the present day are represented.

World Art Treasures

World Art Treasures offers a different approach to art through Internet via the WWW. "Our ambition is to build a specific approach for each program, each time taking into account and emphasizing a specific and original trait in order not only to provide information, but to give birth to a true experience through the new technology," they tell us. Currently you can experience several sections, e.g.: rococo churches in Bavaria, Johannes Vermeer, the enchanted gardens of the Renaissance, Roman portraits from Egypt, and art from Egypt, China, Japan, India and Thailand.

 
   
 
1200 Years of Italian Sculpture

This is an Italian site, unfortunately written in Italian only. But it offers an impressive number of sculptures from diverse periods: medieval and baroque, Gothic and modern. And many sculptures by Michelangelo or Bernini are included as well. You may browse either by artists' names or by towns, thus dicovering sculptures from Acquiterme to Zurigo. A real goldmine for those who are into sculpture.
