These databases provide access to high-quality, curated collections of artworks, often from museum databases themselves. They offer a wide range of visual resources, including images of paintings, sculptures, photographs, and more, which are crucial for studying and analyzing artworks in depth. When searching for images, look for versions digitized or authorized by the museum or collection of the physical artwork, such as metmuseum.org or louvre.fr, when possible, these will have the correct color tones and provide reliable information about the object as well.
Images (including the fashion collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum and the costume collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art), primary sources on the history of fashion and dress, and recent scholarly writings, as well as the Berg Encyclopedia of World Dress and Fashion.
