Quote:
“The Good Samaritan” and “Christ at the Pool of Bethesda” are just two of almost 212,000 oil paintings in Britain that have been photographed and put online in a comprehensive project designed to make the country a cultural pioneer of the digital age.
The project, a collaboration that began in 2003 between the Public Catalogue Foundation and the BBC, aims to record all oil paintings owned by the nation “irrespective of perceived quality and condition.” That means everything from recognized masters in famous London galleries to the work of a councilman in a town in Somerset who painted his colleagues.
