Web Gallery of Art - "The Web Gallery of Art is a virtual museum and searchable database of European painting and sculpture of the Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque periods (1100-1850), currently containing over 14.500 reproductions. Commentaries on pictures, biographies of artists are available. Guided tours, free postcard and other services are provided for the visitors."

Direct Links seem to be turned off.... lame, but the search function is worth checking out. One of the coolest features is being able to search for artists based on country, style, or time period.

This site was used as a supporting link in 2 other posts, however i think that it deserves its own fpp.

I'm almost entirely positive it HAS had it's own FPP before. Possibly it was two or three years ago though. Maybe longer, now that I think of it. This site has been around for years and years.

This is the first time I've seen it, and I think it's totally awesome. Thanks, sourbrew.

Hmmm. It does look like the url has changed. hama7 (oh, where art thou) posted this a year and a half ago.

They seem to be working, as evidenced by this naughty peek into the bathroom.

Yeah, I did the same thing only I deleted on preview. Still, even if they did have hotlinking turned off, why would that be lame?

Because then you can't hotlink images into threads on internet forums.

Hmm, when i was trying to link to the search page i was having a problem with it just giving me an index, but now that i take a look at it seems to be because i was trying to link to the whole set of frames, as opposed to just the individual frame.
