The WikiProject sum of all paintings is a effort to get an item for every notable painting in WikiData. What's the purpose of this? Consider these questions: How many painting did Picasso create? Where are they located? Who owns them?

Hello WikiArt,
I was planning on doing a study of a piece you have attributed to William Blake, poet, painter, philsopher. You have it titled, "Study of a Classical Maiden", but in doing my research, I could not find ANYTHING referring to this piece, nor did it exist in anthologies of his artwork. So, I reached out to the Blake Archive and their response was that this sketch does NOT belong to William Blake (engraver), as you have attributed, but instead they suspect Sit William Blake Richmond, the son of Blake's friend George Richmond.

There are a lot of russian artist that are not listed on the website. Wikiart should be a place for art from all over the world. It would be easier to study art. I can help in finding necessary images and other information.

The current artist list has artist pictures and takes a lot of space per artist. I would like a big, text only list of all artists with images so I could see the whole list and somewhat randomly act on "I've heard of him/her, what do his paintings look like?" The current list where you only see only a few of the available artists on the screen at once is not as effective for this interactions. Thanks for a wonderful site.

Ugly current website chage it back.

Ralph Steadman is probably best known for his work with author and journalist Hunter S Thompson but his artwork is amazing and he really needs to be recognized for the great artist that he is.

Thanks!

Since there are many Chinese who want to join this good website and help to translate these entries into chinese, why not just add chinese edition?

It would be nice to collect a list of literature which is related to a painting or talks about it

Please add information on the works. Like the context, stylistic, iconographic, formal analysis of the work. I have an art class and it is the only thing missing so I can study on this site. It's very great!

The page currently shows information on matte painting, the cinematic process, it does connect to artists who are matter painters

Surprised he's nowhere on your site.

one of the most successful artists today

I really appreciate this app, but I suggest that you add a "liked paintings" or "favorites" section so I can find my favorite ones easily.

I was surprised that Jean Baptiste Auguste Vinchon (5 August 1789 – 1855) is missing from this encyclopedia. Information about him is in Wikipedia at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auguste_Vinchon
