Artcyclopedia: the Guide to Museum-Quality Art on the Internet

Description

If you are just getting started searching for fine art on the Web and you are looking for works by a particular artist, Artcyclopedia is a great jumping off place. Using Artcyclopedia, you can type in or select an artist's name, and be taken to a list of Websites providing digital images of that artist's work. For example, selecting Jan Van Eyck yields a list of about fourteen sites. The advantage of using Artcyclopedia is that they have already done some of the searching for you. Instead of guessing which museums might have a digital image of your artist and going to each museum's site to begin searching, Artcyclopedia allows you to search a number of museums at once and go directly to their holdings on your artist. While the hit list does not give you any idea of how much material a given Website might have on your artist, this does not detract from Artcyclopedia's value as a good place to start. Artcyclopedia also offers links to publications, a monthly featured artist, and a master list of museums that have contributed to the project.
