Right now some artworks have been marked up with the schema type Painting. But lot's of artworks are not paintings.

See this installation/sculpture:

https://www.wikiart.org/en/arne-quinze/uchronia-2007

If implemented correctly, this should actually have different markup, ie this:

https://schema.org/Sculpture

So if you go to the Structured Data Testing Tool from Google,
https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/u/0/?hl=nl#url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wikiart.org%2Fen%2Farne-quinze%2Fuchronia-2007

You should have @type: Painting change to @type: Sculpture.

This is important for WikiArt because it has an effect to the whole web and creates more context in what is known as the Knowledge Graph

Can you please remove the animation during switching between images? Its very annoying and now its impossible to browse fast.

Well I think if one is looking at a painter's output chronologically there should be page numbers so I don't have to scroll and scroll to get to their late years.

It would be good to be able to browse art which is of public domain and free to use, so we can use it for apps without copyright issues

Is there a cut off date for artists? Is Hockney too contemporary?

Your advance search option is completely useless - the range of results is always "too big" + lot of other features like "view all" is not working, infinite scrolling is very bad, if i for example browse paintings in one genre its impossible to come back to the picture where i stopped last time, the whole experience with the web app is just frustrating - and it seems its not getting better at all. It is very sad that such an important project is being run by bunch of imbeciles.

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 :)

John Maler Collier is one amazing English artist with some remarkable artworks like Lady Godiva, Lilith, Tannhäuser in the Venusberg. He painted in the Pre-Raphaelite style, and was one of the most prominent portrait painters of his generation.

More details about him can be found here:

I and many other Art researchers have very high quality scans of images, which we could upload. Of course then moderators would have to sift through it all, and someone would have to choose the best images.... but still, it would be a good way to go exponential

Add artists George Breitner, Isaac Israels and Rien Poortvliet. These masters can't be left out in the Dutch collection of painters! All of them are richly featured in the biggest national museums of the Netherlands.

From an art discovery perspective, it would be nice to have the possibility to browse artists by style (and adding links to wikipedia information about these styles would be a plus !).

Great app by the way !

Like how you have artworks by style and by genre, there needs to be an option of viewing them by date, such as from the 1400's, 1500's, 1600's, etc.

What is this? An artist's entire collection is subject to copyright law if the artist hasn't been dead for 70 years? Is this true??? It doesn't seem to make sense that one 150 year old painting is fair use but another is not because of the date when the artist died! Can we have some clarification on this?

this one is upside down... can you guys turn the picture around? http://www.wikiart.org/en/barnett-newman/onement-vi-1953#close

There is no hope for you. You need to be in jail.

Very often painters will paint within the history of painting, (or even of other Arts), and there should be some way for users to create intertextual links between paintings. this could be as simple as for example showing Gerhard Richter's series of paintings where he repaints the Annunciation of Titian, to other things like the connection between the Arnolfini Portrait and Las Meninas, and so on, and so forth...!!! Yay!
