Wiki paintings goal is to create the most “high-quality, most complete and well-structured online repository of fine art.”

We hope to make classical art a little more accessible and comprehensible, and also want to provide a new form of interaction between contemporary artists and their audience. In the future we plan to cover the entire history of art —- from cave artworks to the new talents of today.

Visiting art museums isn’t the only way to experience your artistic heritage.
