• Art History Web Resources

• CGFA
  This is another gallery of IMAGES of PAINTINGS from the Renaissance to Impressionism. There's also another powerful search index: artist, nationality, time-frame. Unlike the Web Gallery of Art, CGFA has full paintings only - no details.
• Digital Imaging Project
  This site contains a tremendous number of IMAGES of SCULPTURE and ARCHITECTURE from prehistoric times to the 20th Century. Best way to use this site is to scroll down a bit to one if the "index" links. Click your choice of "artists and architect," "chronological," or "art historical sites.
• The Great Buildings Collection
  This website contains photographs and interactive 3-D models of hundreds of architectural masterpieces. In order to view the 3-D models, you must download the Design Lite program. It's a bit tricky because you don't get an automatic "install" after the download. First, download Design Lite from the website. Then go into your program files, find the Design Lite icon, find the setup icon, and manually install the program. There's plenty of well written directions on the website. Whatever you do...don't buy the $149 CD...despite what they tell you, there's actually more on the website than on the CD.
• Web Gallery of Art
  Here are 12,000 IMAGES of PAINTINGS from the early Renaissance (12th Century) to Romanticism (mid 19th Century). There are many options for searching the galleries: artist, school, period, time-line, or profession. What's particularly great about this gallery is the extradinoary number of "details" of the paintings.
