Greg's Review
This a a great iPad coffee table book for art lovers. It includes 55,000 very high quality scans of great art works. The great display on the iPad lends itself to high quality images and this app takes full advantage. The art is divided up into collections as you would find them in a museum and also by artist so you can just purse works by a certain person. While it is always best to see the real thing if you can't afford a trip to Europe right now (I know I can't) then checkout this app.
From Developer
"An experience unlike any other" -- The NY Times. Art Authority for iPad transports you to an enthralling, real-world art museum filled with works by over 1,000 of the western world's greatest artists, from ancient times to today. Over 55,000 paintings and sculptures, organized into eight period-specific rooms, each room a gateway to a whole museum's worth of art. Choose an artist by movement or name, and become instantly immersed in an exhibition devoted just to that artist. Search for and compare different artists' works by title, subject or location, or just wander at random and get lost in the art.
"Visually dazzling" -- MacObserver. Art Authority's works are beautifully framed and hung on textured walls, accompanied by title, date and other details. Works are displayed chronologically, with previews of related items providing added context. You can learn about an artist's life and works, or travel beyond the bounds of a traditional museum and view and compare works in a full-screen slideshow or scrolling thumbnail display.
There are also period overviews, timelines and histories. From the earliest creative pieces to the latest modern and contemporary works, Art Authority provides a stunningly displayed, carefully selected, well organized view of the western art world. It's part world-class art museum, part academic reference library and part digital coffee-table book. It's also part magic. An art musem like no other!
