There is a huge<br />archive of digital images of artwork now housed in art museums around the world.<br /><br />The company makes canvas prints and hand-painted, oil painting reproductions to order, from your selection of images<br />from this big archives.<br /><br />It's some resource for art lovers and historians. There are many images of works by famous artists of the past that I have<br />never seen.<br /><br />From their home page at wahooart.com, you can browse by the hundreds of artists there, movements in art, art media,<br />historical timeline and even by subject matter. There is much biographical information about the artists.<br /><br />I am always fascinated by the way the 19th century English landscape painter, William Turner, used layers of luminous<br />oil paint to recreate his blazing landscapes. Clicking <a href="http://EN.WahooArt.com/@/WilliamTurner/" rel="nofollow"> http://<br />EN.WahooArt.com/@/WilliamTurner </a>, I find his paintings indexed in a floating 3D gallery at the site.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03253643038825923801noreply@blogger.com
