Where do you find large collections of hi res art? Old masterpieces and more modern pieces? Extra points if I can find stashes of hi res versions of NFTs that other people were silly enough to buy.
Google Cultural Institute is just plain awesome. SUPER high res photos that let you zoom in to your heart’s content. Right now in the front page you can color in hokusai’s great wave. You can explore lots of famous museums using google street view. It’s really incredible and totally free.
If you want to bulk save high res artwork of artists, not sure tbh. I’m certain there’s a way to download the high res images on GCI though
artsandculture.google.com/asset/…/rQEx7CtGiKE3yghere’s a good example. You can zoom way in and see the impasto brushstrokes and even the canvas behind it. What’s weird is that this version seems way darker than any other pictures you may find online. Not sure what’s up with that as it appears they took great care to make the photo
Yes, well aware of this and it is pretty awesome. I would be interested to know more about how to download these though as, #1 - anything Google is fleeting, it’s only some amount of time before these disappear And #2 - I want the freedom to print these in large format or display them digitally on large screens / projectors.
