Looking comes before knowledge, and knowledge can carry looking further.
Atlas of Paintings is a visual knowledge project built around individual artworks. It connects paintings to artists, movements, emotions, subjects and museum collections so that every page offers a meaningful next step.
How the atlas is organized
Artwork pages form the core. Artist and movement pages provide historical structure, while emotion, subject and color collections reflect the ways people actually remember and search for images.
Editorial approach
The site gives a clear visual answer first, then adds story, close looking and related works. It avoids treating art as a list of dates or a collection of disconnected tags.
