Random Search button
Hi, I've only just discoved Wikiart and think it's wonderful. Just an idea - instead of having to expand Artworks to select "Random", I think a button would be great to introduce users to artists. I've enjoyed using the random feature, just think it could be made a bit easier :)

... fix the Onement VI picture. It is both mirrored and upside down.
The Onement VI file depicts the painting mirrored and upside down. I suggest fixing this to avoid embarrassment. ... how was this managed? Every source I find (including the original) is oriented correctly. This looks like vandalism or sabotage more than anything else.

consider rights of paternity, as well as copyright.
Copyright has legal teeth, I concede, but is a matter of money mainly.
Other moral rights include the right of paternity, which simply means the Creator's right to be given credit for the Work, each time the Work is reproduced. It is free.
I feel that borrowers have a moral duty to acknowledge the Authorship of beautiful works that have been created by talented individuals, whether in or oiuyt of copyright.

edit the summaries of artists more carefully
I believe that the grammar and spelling could be more carefully edited. It would give the site more credibility and make it appear more professional.

Many fakes on this site
I suggest that when a Georgia O'Keefe painting is posted, you check it's authenticity. There are many copies and fakes of her work that show up here; then people 'pin' them on Pinterest as the 'real thing.' I suggest that Wikiart have at the very least link backs as to origin.

Mistake about Antonello da messina. Wrong attribution.
Among the works of the Italian artist Antonello da Messina, There's an engraving representing a portrait of the painter: http://www.wikiart.org/en/antonello-da-messina#supersized-engraving-186508
This is not a self portrait, but a portrait made by Vasari for his "Lives of the artists". There are in fact many of those portraits, each one representing a different artist, ad they are all made by the hand of Vasari.
So, please, correct the error.3 votes -

Museum Integration
Hi guys, I've been thinking about trying to use a camera (like a cell phone's) to be able to recognize pieces of art in museums to bring up information about the work, kind of like the entries in wikiart. would you be interested in a collaboration?
on my end, I would need access to the entire database of images in order to match the image to the artwork. I have a sense that the computer vision problem is relatively straightforward due to the 2D nature of artwork compared to general object recognition problems, and I would imagine that my app…

...check your Titian pages!!
The painting 'Fall of Man' which you say was painted by Titian was actually painted by Peter Paul Rubens in 1628-9.

Fix your ad copy.l
The products are fine, but who wrote the ad? A verb is left out ("This advertisement. Why do we show it?"), and a word was added ("'A' legal help"). Childish-sounding words discourage sales.

Copyright infringement popup
The popup currently says "Artworks...contemplation. Images of that type of artworks are prohibited for copying...and communicating to public since...infringement." Obviously it's not an infringement if you get permission; what if you changed "Images..." to "Unless the copyright owner has specifically granted you permission, images..."? Also, "communicating to public" in the same popup needs "the" before "public", i.e. "communicating to the public".
