  1. Add Filipino artists.

    I was searching for Barco en el Horizonte by Felix Hidalgo.
    Maybe the Cultural Center of the Philippines can provide HD pix of other Filipino works.

  3. Allow download of the original/full resolution images

    Allow users to download the artwork in its original/full resolution with a simple click on a button or link. This was previously available at wikipaintings.org, so I see no reason why you removed this feature.

  4. Let's not have some reproduction website popping up after clicking on a painting.

    Whenever I zoom in and try to move around the painting a website that sells reproductions pops up. I don't know if it's supposed to work this way, It's impossible to use.

  6. PLEASE don't simplify art!

    Art is great and beautiful, but also complex, confusing and frustrating. Using the same historicist approach that dictates a certain path of art movements through time is allowing for the continued misinformation of the general public, and insuring that poor art historians and critics remain in positions of power (and so the art market prevails over art itself). An encyclopedia of painting is possible, but grouping these artists across time under art "movements" is ignoring their own, individual, nuanced trajectories full of unexpected twists and turns. Please do not disseminate concepts that are still in discussion. The idea of art…

  7. To Create an Application for all kinds of Platform (Android, iOS, PC, etc)

    An App Software for such a Visual Encyclopedia would be quite thrilling.

    The Software should have a simple interface and a High Definition approach. Should start in full screen mode. Help us browse Art by Genres (by default) and by Style, Technique & Artists if the User so chooses.

    Also while seeing an art a "Reference" tab would also be very useful.

    Also it would be great if the App has an "Events" section that will provide information about various art events, exhibitions, lectures conducted by various galleries, museums, etc.

  8. Structured data (schema.org): correct some mistakes site-wide

    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

    This site is amazing, by the way. I really appreciate what you're doing.

  10. Allow to browse by license

    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

  11. Jacques Lipchitz - Mistake in his page

    http://www.wikiart.org/en/jacques-lipchitz

    There is a mistake in the name "Chaim Jacob Lipschitz", in color gray. It must be "Chaïm Jacob Lipchitz"

  12. Just a few remarks.

    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.

  14. add an ability to change the slideshow speed

    The artworks change before you can even look at the whole work! Artist and Title info adjacent to the image in fullscreen mode would be great too.

  15. Please update the WikiArt API and its documentation

    I want to use the API but there does not seem to be any updated documentation for it. The latest documentation I could see online is from 2017. I am trying to utilize the search painting request both from the v2 and what seems to be the v1, but both do not return the desired result (I am trying to request for abstract paintings).

  16. More Social Media Presence

    Post more across instagram, twitter, and facebook. Have a curated artist/artwork of the day, with appropriate hashtags to gain more traction to the site.

    It's something I could do officially or unofficially, if the administration here would permit me; post a daily piece of art or artwork, and like it back to WikiArt.

  18. What about David Hockney?

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

  20. 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 :)
