[WWW]Artchive If you need to find the work of a famous (or not so famous) artist for art appreciation, this is the site for you. It provides for free a large sampling of photographs of actual works (over 200 artists and 2000 paintings) and allows you to zoom in for a closer look and print off a decent photo of it. It also divides the artists alphabetically by name or according to their historical period, so you can look at the art for a particular artist or particular art period. Commentaries are given on many artists and periods. Be aware this is a secular site and that not all pictures will be appropriate for all ages or tastes nor commentaries from a Biblical stand point. However, it is still a wonderful resource to bring to life an artist you have been studying.
