ArtWork

For those who like to stare at art for long hours on end without actually looking weird, museums and collections are not that great a choice. This is what probably went through the ArtWork creator's mind when he scribbled his ideas for this project. Yes, this little app can download tons of art pictures, from museums around the world, for you to enjoy privately, on your desktop.

The application is more of an interface to a database. In the beginning, the application will simply check and download as many artwork images as it possibly can. Afterward, the resulting images will be split amongst tons of categories.

You can change the arrangement of these pictures by choosing the sorting factor. The pictures can be arranged depending on their artist, the country or city where they are located or simply by the title they've been given.

With apps like these, an important aspect, if not the most important, is quality. The creator behind ArtWork seems to have know this and as a result, all images within this huge database are of high quality. Accurate virtual reproduction is important if you're looking to understand certain details.

A nice touch worth mentioning is that you can literally use any of the downloaded pictures as a desktop background image. Further functionality includes the ability to create a favorites list and the subsequent creation of TXT files containing the favorite picture directory location.

ArtWork is an application worth grabbing, especially if you're an art fan or critic and would like to gain access to a huge database of high-quality pictures to study or simply admire by yourself, in the comfort of your home, and, most importantly, without anyone else bothering you.
