Slow Canvas Makes Paintings Worth a Longer Look

Field notes

The site divides its material into artist pages, movements, themes, and deep-zoom galleries. The current selection covers Egon Schiele, Caspar David Friedrich, and John Singer Sargent, with four deep-zoom works for each artist and 160 paintings represented on the timelines. Featured works include Wanderer above the Sea of Fog, Monk by the Sea, Portrait of Wally, and Madame X; the homepage says each gallery adds guided details and a palette extracted from the canvas.
