I noticed hydrus dev always posts classical art pictures when responding to threads. I imagine they probably have a big collection of it.

was hydrus network originally some sort of secret art cataloging/ art history analyzing program or do they just really like classic art?

 No.2005

I'm gonna take a random guess and say it's probably easily available and not encumbered by licenses, etc.. As such there probably exists a lot of existing collections and projects around them so it may be a good thing to use for testing.

They probably like it too though ;^)

Although hydrus has always been content-agnostic, and my art collection is only about 0.25% of all my stuff, the general experience of fine art is probably the thing I care about most in the world. When I look at this stuff, or I listen to Wagner or Bach or Mozart or any of the other masters, all of my hope and enthusiasm returns.

Beyond /hydrus/, I have always been mostly a lurker, but when I do post, I usually attach art or quotes from stoic leaders like Aurelius. I imagine it only stands out here because I am not completely Anon.

Other than art-dump threads, I got a lot of my art from torrents, by the way. There are a bunch of gallery digitisation projects floating around with a handful of seeds. Most of them have the usual filename problems, so I am very slowly sorting what I have and batch-adding at least artist name and 'fine art' to the PTR. I have about 20,000 files still to import, so I won't run out any time soon!

I didn't know this was a thing. What's the terminology to look up? Are they on the standard public trackers?

Yeah, the word to use is 'paintings', as most variations of 'art' will give you 'erotic art' and music-'artist' stuff. There's a load here:

But quality varies wildly, and you can easily end up with two thousand more works of Dutch Still Life than you had originally planned, just because the seeds are sparse. Adding 'Monet' or 'European' also helps, depending on what you like.
