Curation saves weeks
The Metropolitan Museum alone contains 492,000 open-access works. Our flower masters bundle distills 5,000+ candidate works into ~150 pieces ranked by reference value, organized by era and subject.
Annotated for study
Every painting includes a curator note: technique observations, palette breakdown, historical context, and what to study from it. Raw museum downloads ship with bare metadata.
Multiple formats included
Each work delivered as: full-resolution archival JPEG, web-optimized preview, and Procreate/Photoshop-ready PSD with separated background layer. Saves 5+ minutes of prep per painting.
Commercial use, no attribution
All source works are CC0 public domain. Use in your own paintings, study sketches, commercial products, courses, or NFTs without licensing concerns. Attribution appreciated but not required.
Built for working artists
For painting students
Master copies are how every Old Master learned. Fast access to organized, annotated reference accelerates the master study cycle — fewer hours hunting for source material, more hours at the easel.
For digital artists
Procreate-ready files load directly into your reference panel. Pre-cropped to common canvas ratios. Color palette extracted per painting. Spend session time painting, not preparing reference.
For art instructors
Curriculum-ready collections by era and technique. Use in workshops, online courses, or studio teaching with clear historical context already documented per work.
For collectors
Build a digital reference library of works you love. Cross-reference acquisition decisions. Study technique evolution across the same artist's career, organized chronologically.
