des Musées de France - Base Joconde (French
version only)
- Not a very easy site to use,
but a great source to find artists or artworks available
in French Museums (many french museums don't have
websites or don't give details of their collections
online). Images only on pieces which are in the public
domain. Two ways to search:
- •
the simple search: "Recherches guidées
par listes", select the area you're interested
into, and on the next page, click on the name in the
list that is closer to what you are looking for. You'll
get a new alphabetical list, with the complete list
of artists or paintings or movement.
- • the
advanced search: "Recherche experte".
Enter your keyword(s) and search the database. I think
this one is easier to use when you know what you're
looking for!
