RESOURCE: The Art Renewal Center

[Razvan-Sedekiah]

Thought I'd share this, since some have never heard of it.

If you've never heard of the Art Renewal Center, then you are in for a treat!!! LINK: http://www.artrenewal.org/

It is a huge database of paintings that have been cleaned up to look like they did originally! There are lots of very LARGE scans of tons of painting! It's like a small piece of heaven on the internet.

The site can be a little hard to navigate sometimes, so here is a link to where you can start looking for paintings: http://www.artrenewal.org/asp/database/contents.asp

For all you Mucha fans here is a direct link to the Mucha section:

Enjoy! ^___^

Mmmm.... they have many Bouguereau paintings, which I love!!! XD *Dies*

I looooove Art Renewal. Some of the writings on the site come off a bit pretentious or snobby, but they make up for it by providing incredible resources.
