Where do you find large collections of hi res art? Old masterpieces and more modern pieces? Extra points if I can find stashes of hi res versions of NFTs that other people were silly enough to buy.

Yes, well aware of this and it is pretty awesome. I would be interested to know more about how to download these though as, #1 - anything Google is fleeting, it’s only some amount of time before these disappear And #2 - I want the freedom to print these in large format or display them digitally on large screens / projectors.
Nearly all Google Art Project works can be downloaded at max res from the Wikimedia Commons
Totally agree, who knows when Google will pull the plug. I don’t see this being very profitable for them. I already have a favorite artwork that’s been removed, Two Sisters by Renoir. There’s no legal reason I can imagine that they’d have to take it down so it’d have to do with ongoing deals they have with museums.
And that sounds like a cool project. Take a look at this:

At the top there’s a browser extension and a desktop application. You can enter a url from google cultural institute and it’ll request each image that constitutes the whole.
More info on the githubg: https://github.com/lovasoa/dezoomify
Another project more specifically aimed at google cultural institute: https://github.com/mewforest/google-art-downloader
And there’s this one: https://github.com/piotrantosz/google-arts-crawler
Dezoomify is the most recently updated. I believe with a script, you’d be able to create a list of artworks you want full prints of and have it download them one by one.
Thanks, this is great!
