Favorite fine art websites?
I'm always looking for the works of a particular painter when I travel, and a website called the Artchive was a great help in pointing me in the right direction. It's a fun site with links aplenty to online images.
Do you know of another website that lists or links to special exhibits and permanent collections for museums around the world? |

Whenever I Google a painting or an artist,
http://gallery.euroweb.hu will come up in one fashion or another. And I think that it's quite comprehensive. Most museums have their websites. If I need to locate a piece that's at a specific museum, I use that website. If that fails, I Google. |
Burlington Magazine features a pretty complete list of art exhibitions:

artcyclopedia.com is great!

someone recently mentioned seeing a Bernini's painting, (being surprised he also painted) here you can see them. |
I don't have much to add, except that I also use all the above websites mentioned.
I also check individual museums' websites and look at their permanent collection and also current/future exhibitions. On my recent trip, there are 2 more websites I found useful (but only applies to Dutch & Flemish art and Vermeer): http://www.codart.nl/ Very comprehensive website showing where all the Dutch & Flemish paintings are located in the world. Plus current exhibitions. http://www.essentialvermeer.com/ Also a very comprehensive website, on Vermeer mainly. It lists the locations of all Vermeer's paintings, as well as any exhibitions on Vermeer's or his contemporaries. |
Yes! Artcylcopedia! Not Artchive (although that one's okay, too). Thanks for the memory nudge.
And thanks to you all; I've added a few bookmarks to my favorites list. |
