I‘ve been getting/downloading prints of paintings from this site since I was a teenager. you can download hi-res images of the paintings and use them for whatever you’d like. I used to use them as notebook covers because I didn’t like the original covers some of my notebooks for school had. now I just like scrolling on the website (another thing I love! scrolling through websites.) and looking at the paintings/drawings/photographs.

I like how it has full-size downloads and synopsis of the artists. They have one of the better mobile experiences. Include details on art whereabouts and an overview of each collector's collection.
NGA is one of many museum websites. I've just been using the site more frequently.

There are a few museum databases where you can look at their art online. I can’t think of the specific Italian ones but I know there are quite a few
The Getty museum in LA just added a bunch of stuff to theirs / opened it up (linked to it)
Maybe search a museum or artist followed by Creative Commons or open content!

I‘m wondering why we stopped having blogs and writing essays? I want to hear people’s thoughts. I want to share my thoughts! and I don’t want to see these thoughts in a few sentences on twitter or a short Instagram post. I need a 1000+ word essay with images, links, references, book recs, and everything else. I wanna know what’s going on inside your brain.

I need to share this list I made because it is such a blessing to me that I can just open youtube or vimeo and watch these lovely little movies. there’s a range of them like bergman, tarkovsky, polish films, art-house, weird matthew gray gubler short, experimental horror, short films from the 20’s. how fun.
