ARTH 220: Art in Italy, 1300-1700

[John Malyon]

The Bridgeman Art Library works with museums, art galleries and artists to make the best art available for reproduction. The result is an outstanding archive of images drawn from collections throughout the world. Every subject, concept, style and medium is represented, from the masterpieces of national museums to the hidden treasures of private collections. Fine art is just one of the sources of images; design, antiques, maps, architecture, furniture, glass, ceramics, anthropological artifacts and many others also feature in the collection.

A collaboration between Google and museums, both large and small, from over 40 countries worldwide providing more than 40,000 high resolution images of works of art. Many allow the user to zoom in and examine the work at brushstroke level.
