Google art project on wikimedia: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Google_Art_Project_works_by_artist
Go to the address bar once youre there and just remove the 'artist' part and replace with the name of the artist you want high resolution pictures of. it has ridiculously high resolution pictures, it's not a complete collection of paintings for each painter but has some of the most famous by them. Anyways, try your luck there. And look at an example of Vincent van Gogh's Starry Night in super high resolution here: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ea/Van_Gogh_-_Starry_Night_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg
(This one is absolutely huge so it will fail to open with basic jpg viewer programs, I recommend photoshop if you download it). Also if you want to find highest resolution pictures possible that google doesnt have go to www.tineye.com It's a reverse image search engine that has helped me a lot in searching for the highest resolution paintings that sometimes google doesnt have (there's also a tineye plugin for chrome and firefox that you can download and you can then right click on any image and click search image on tineye to make it easier). I hope this helps you guys.

I'm always impressed with the technicality of photorealistic stuff, obviously this man has incredible talent, but it makes me wonder: what's the point? By replicating a scene exactly as it is, you add nothing artistically, you may as well take a photo. You're not saying anything.

The Russian Romantic artist Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky (1817–1900) was widely renowned for his paintings of sea battles, shipwrecks, and storms at sea. Born into an Armenian family in the Crimean port city of Feodosia, Aivazovsky was enormously prolific—he claimed to have created some six thousand paintings during his lifetime. He was a favorite of Czar Nicholas I and was appointed
official artist of the Russian imperial navy. In 1887, as part of a jubilee celebration of his career, Aivazovsky hosted a dinner for 150 friends. Each guest received a miniature painting by Aivazovsky set into a studio photograph of the artist at work. Several years later, he dedicated the present photograph and painting to Calouste Gulbenkian, the Armenian-British oil financier and art collector.

>>2776655
try thinking about it another way.

Perhaps the artist was struck by the vista and did his best to recreate it with paint as a homage

How do you even know that's a real place? perhaps it's just a rye field purely from the artists mind.

maybe you're right and he tried to recreate it exactly as he saw it just because he had the skill to do so. and maybe by, as you say "not saying anything" is says everything.
