Collectively known\u00a0as PHAROS, the group\u00a0is gradually digitizing millions of images, many of which are previously unpublished and accessible only\u00a0through physical visits to individual research repositories. The 14 institutions involved include the Frick Collection (which is leading the project), Rome\u2019s\u00a0Bibliotheca Hertziana, the Courtauld Institute, Getty Research Institute, Paris\u2019s\u00a0Institut national d\u2019histoire de l\u2019art, Washington D.C.\u2019s National Gallery of Art, and the Yale Center for British Art.<\/p>\n<p>its completion, Pharos will exist as a searchable database of about 25 million images, most of which are of actual art objects from all over the world; other images consist of supplementary material, such as x-ray photos taken during conservation, or photos of the back of a painting. You may currently sift through over 158,000 images, from eight of the partner institutions, searching by an artwork\u2019s date, artist, dimensions, medium, and more.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hyperallergic.com\/379880\/pharos-digitalization\/\">Read more here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; A new database launched by an international consortium of art\u00a0institutions is working to grant internet users unprecedented access to dozens of art historical photo archives, which capture\u00a0multiple images of a single artwork over time.
