Really nice. Does anyone have a recommendation for a service which print such images as posters at a reasonable price?
For prints Costco and Walmart have some crazy low prices and they often advertise them as archival quality as well.

#32Do you have an API? (See Pexels and Unsplash if you need inspiration) Would be really useful for wallpaper changing scripts.
Though the content is free, having all public domain art amassed is a useful service and I too would like an API. I'd even pay for it!

#33It is not "...Paintings, Drawings and Illustrations from some of the best artists the world has ever known", unless you believe this primarily applies to Euro/Western art. E.g., Utagawa Hiroshige, the Japanese ukiyo-e artist who is "considered the last great master of that tradition" has just one entry.
You're welcome to vote me down for pointing out cultural bias, but I don't think you should deny it or gloss over it with your downvote. Especially at this time.

(I've tried to get him onto Mastodon/Fediverse as well, but he's looking for the right instance.)

#35Some of my favorite posters are open source NASA posters. Find them here: https://artvee.com/?s=nasa&post_type=product&product_cat=0
OH, thank you this, amazing art!

"some of the" usually indicates that the collection is not exhaustive.

#37I found a download link error at https://artvee.com/dl/ault-and-wiborg-ad-008/
The download links point to a very different image, couldn't figure out why.

I’m related to a professor of design, and he recommends White House Custom Color (https://www.whcc.com/) for prints. I think you may need to upload a sample of your “work” to gain access, at least last time I made an account.
I actually have some of his prints from an exhibition hanging on my wall (via 3M adhesive strips), printed via this service. These are printed on a ~1/8” board and have a glossy protective finish. They’re super high quality.
As for whether the price is reasonable...I’ll leave that to you and your utility function.
(PS: OP’s site is awesome)

#39"Discover Classical Art" it said. I entered "porn" in the search box I got nothing. Puzzled...
Try "Zeus" or "Jupiter" for ancient furry. Also, rich renaissance italians didn't just invite dates upstairs to see their etchings, they had statuary.
A plausible theory explaining: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suburban_Baths_(Pompeii)#Eroti... is that, just like modern parking garages are often colour coded, "you're unlikely to forget where you left your street clothes with those murals".

#40I love these arts. Though the site's page load is quite slow
