Editorial interest 86/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An art-geography guide connecting famous paintings to their real-world viewpoints, depicted landmarks, and present-day museum collections.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-06 issue.

Field notes

The project separates three kinds of information that art sites often blur: the artist's viewpoint, the real place represented in the image, and the museum holding the original. Its featured records include geographic qualifiers such as a northeast corner of an Arles café terrace and a south-bank view of Delft. The collection cites Wikidata, Getty, OpenStreetMap, Wikimedia Commons, and museum open-access APIs, with image rights attributed to individual sources.
