22,000 high quality photographs for Art History enthusiasts

22,000 high resolution photographs of works of art from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art are being uploaded, starting with art from the Ancient world. Discussion and testing started back in March 2013; you can read about the project at batch uploading.

The photographs are described using the basic metadata information from the LACMA catalogue. The top level hierarchical category for the artworks is Collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA).

If you are interested in working on the Wikipedias, these images are high resolution photographs of artworks that will engage readers when illustrating articles, and are representative of a wide range of art topics, from early Egyptian pottery through to Modernism in the 19th Century.
