I only recently found that Art Renewal Center (ARC) has revamped their search setup, and apparently have moved nearly all their 50,000+ images to new locations.

The site has always requested that people not link directly to individual paintings, so links that I've posted above are only to an "artist's page" with a description of which image anyone interested could click on to get the "big picture." Even the links to individual pages now seem to have been "reorganized."

The "front page" for Lord Frederick Leighton now identifies him as "artistid=14," indicating that he ranks quite high in the ARC hierarchy of artists.

If you scroll down to picture #8, you find:

Music Lesson
c1877
Oil on canvas
118.1 x 92.8 cm
(3' 10½" x 3' .54")
Guildhall Art Gallery (London, United Kingdom)

Click on the "High Resolution Image" for the excellent (1.97 MB) jpg of the painting. You should be able to right click and "Save Image As" to download it, so that you can put it in your own viewer for examination at a scale you select for best viewing.

The ARC home page remains at http://www.artrenewal.org/, but the "politickering" is a bit heavy there. It's worth scrolling down and poking around some, but probably is most interesting to "working artists."

On the bar at the top (of any ARC page), if you hover on "Museum" the recommended first choice might be "Search the ARC Museum" which offers some 7,000+ artists and - according to ARC - more than 50,000 images. Note the "Custom Searches" box at the right on the front search page. The "Alphabetical by Artist" choice has been my favorite for browsing, although you can also search by date and such.

Also recommended, the selection "Visit the ARC Living Masters™ Gallery" on the same "Museum" button. (But note that copying most works by living artists is likely to be "blocked.")
