"I'm looking for big database of images of renaissance painting, and any other old painting. Stuff before 1800. Post your links and/or images."
I hear art galleries are worth a look see for this kind of stuff. National galleries in particular :)

Because of this thread, yesterday I started looking at a whole bunch of old art and then it led to me watching a 1.5hr documentary on the Dark Ages.. Wild times.

In the Villa Farnesina in Rome, there is a beautiful room upstairs (nearly as beautiful as the Raphael Cupid and Psyche cycle in the loggia downstairs) with paintings by Baldassare Peruzzi. It’s called the Hall of Perspectives and it’s fascinating because the columns painted on the wall give you a sense of depth, as though the room is open to the elements. What I find most intriguing, however, is the graffiti on the wall (first photo), made by German soldiers, the feared Landsknecht, after they sacked Rome in 1527 and basically trashed the villa. The graffiti reads: “1528 - why shouldn’t I laugh: the Landsknecht have put the Pope to flight."
What I find most strange is that after the villa was once again taken back by the rightful Chigi heirs and after it was sold to the Farnese in the last half of the 16th century, why no one covered over the graffiti?

Idiots, the lot of you - none of these can be from before 1800, because they're all in colour.

This painting just misses the 1800s cut...
