The Getty Research Institute in California, in cooperation with several major European and American art institutes and museums, has produced this database of nearly 20,000 digital texts from the field of art history. Users have two search options: a simple keyword search, or an advanced search option that allows searching by author, title, and subject as well.
The purpose of this web site is mainly to assist experts to determine the authenticity of works of art on an impartial, authoritative basis. However, it also provides "catalogues raisonnes" for numerous artists' work so interested researchers might survey large numbers of works by specific individuals. There are also guides to art terminology and determining provenance.
