Thanks to the wise decision of museums such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, it is possible to get the images of many of their artworks in free domain.
The great idea of freely using the images of the greatest works of art in history has stimulated the idea of spreading the knowledge of art and giving it a further boost.
