This is a collection of more than 12,000 personal photos of paintings taken in some 130 museums and churches in Europe, the United States, and New Zealand, captured at high resolution and with color that is immediately corrected on-site to match the painting.

 

The paintings are organized into various Albums. There are separate Albums that contain all of the paintings in either chronological or random order. There also are separate Albums for (1) each time period, (2) each artist nationality, (3) each museum or church, (4) each special exhibition, (5) each (well-known) artist, and 6) each well-known painting style. For more than 4,500 paintings, the text of the museum or church wall label appears in the picture Description field. There is also a separate Album with high-resolution photos of details from over 600 paintings.

 

All of the Albums (with thumbnail pictures) are listed and can be accessed through the "Albums" link above. Alternatively, here is a clickable list of Albums with their links:
