When searching for art images online, it is best to determine which institution or museum holds or owns the piece you are interested in and then visit their site. Relying on a Google search for an image can sometimes result in poor resolution, misattribution of the work, or other incorrect information. For instance, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts owns the image at right, Jacobo del Casentino's Saint Lucy. Click on the link for a high-resolution photo and more details about the work. Searching the holding institution ensures you are seeing the correct image. Institutions usually provide high-resolution images and information such as the date of the work, provenance, more information about the artist, and other essential details. Remember, images need citation, too, and using images from museums or galleries makes citing works of art more accessible. |
