Question Where are the most detailed online fine art paintings?

I would like to have a library of online sources of really high definition fine art paintings. I have heard that some museums and other organizations have websites that let one even focus down to the brush strokes on a nose for example. Anyone have a favorite website for such viewing? Many thanks

Re: Where are the most detailed online fine art paintings?

I'm glad you asked this as it made me remember something I'd seen a long while ago and didn't remember where, exactly, it was.

After several minutes of searching, certain I wouldn't be able to find it again, here is a really awesome view of Van Gogh's Wheatfield with Crows...you can zoom in and see allll the brushtrokes at actual size...

Not all of the images there will allow you that level of zoomification, but some of them will, and it is amazing to study.

Great one for pre-raphaelite paintings.
