WGA: Good Source of (Art) Images

For those who study and love art, the Web Gallery of Art proves a great source of images. The URL to the site is: http://www.wga.hu/


A taste: [i]
Gaddo Gaddi (b. c. 1260, Florence - d. c. 1333, Florence)
Virgin with Child Enthroned and Two Saints
1320s, panel
San Remigio, Florence

The Website is well organised; the quality of the images is quite good when enlarged there are various options for enlargement  and the references are as complete as possible. The WGA site often includes a link to information about the piece selected, not necessarily scholarly, and a short bio of the artist.

Happy visit!
