The Metropolitan Museum of Art
which includes photos from ElissaCS, whose photostream is amazing, including multiple sets of the Met and other museums, and of major sites in Europe and elsewhere. In fact now that I have discovered it, I will probably search for works here first, and more broadly later.
I have discovered that a great source for photographs of church and other religious art, Sacred Destinations, now has a photostream on Flickr (I only mean to imply that it is more recent than when I last taught in the Spring of 2008). I have found many photos for teaching on Sacred Destinations and always assumed that they were a travel agency, or something like that, but just by reading their “About Us”, I realize it is one individual and her husband. Amazing.
I have just set up a new Flickr group to supplement the material on this website. Please join and feel free to add photos, uploaded and found.
