The museum has published what is fundamentally an educational resource. Not every person who has access to the internet has the opportunity to travel to large cities to see big art collections. Thank you! This is a marvelous, rich, and generous undertaking that will make a big difference in bringing quality art to everyone.
Few of us can travel to NYC at will to see a particular work of art. My wish for families is that we will embrace this lovely gift to bring beauty to our lives — especially to our children. How can you claim copyright to images in the public domain? Face, most of these pieces were created by other people and any copyrights at all have lapsed putting the work into the public domain.
Thank you to the Metropolitan Museum of Art! And thank you, OpenCulture, for letting us know about it! Imagine a world where serious art students studied rows of 35 mm slides on light tables in dark hallways outside art history classrooms. Lowly art teachers like me taught using posters we bought with our own money in museum bookstores.
And that was just twenty years ago. The scope of images available now is unbelievably rich. It is a wondrous renaissance. Stop complaining and dig in.
I have some images in some of my books which are now on their way to them. If you want to do something really nice for me, please tell me the truth in describing it. As we can see here, there are many who are delighted with the shortchanged gift. And what about publicity? Did you make big promises of high resolution to draw lots of favorable attention then quietly choke it down to low resolution to manipulate your public image?
Did you use me like that? The Met themselves announced that the images are in high res. See their press release below. And I guess you can take up the argument with them. When I looked at images in the collection, they were very pixel rich. But maybe your definition of high res is different from others…. New York, May 16, —Thomas P.
The number of available images will increase as new digital files are added on a regular basis. Why are photographs such as the Stieglitz above no longer available to download? This is great news for researchers and students, but everyone else shoudl be careful!
If only ALL the world was like. I am looking for high resolution downloadable paintings and engravings of baroque musicians playing music. The problem is calling it public domain. Public domain means you can use it as you wish, commercial use included. This looks like an attempt to change the narrative before attempting to change the law. Look at the pixel dimensions of the image. This is a good example of why people should not drop out of grade school.
Where are you getting Did you have a stroke while posting that? I hope you recovered in 6 years. These resolutions are NOT high resolution. For video maybe, but these are still images. Why even bother with this with such low quality? Name required. Email required. Click here to cancel reply.
