Where can I find all those dope old paintings and sculptures?
Like, michaelangelo da vinci and all that.. But also people like carravagio, delacroix, desiderio , idk, tons of people. I just love all that shit, the baroque and renecessaince.
Is it just hunting on amazon and cgpeers or has anyone curated a nice list of books to choose from already?
a lot of times, you have to know what you're looking for. sometimes you get lucky and you find something you like while searching for something else. read up on them a lot, and look for them accordingly. browse through art history books in the library and you might find some you like that you might not find otherwise. you'll find about other artists just by reading about someone you already know about because a lot of them knew each other.
don't forget to neglect their drawings, especially from the renaissance.
i was having the same problem a while ago. so i will help you faggoto sempai
first of all lets get the obvious one.
Google art project! all the museums in the word in sub paint sroke resolution
https://www.google.com/culturalinstitute/u/0/project/art-project
Found this site that allows you do download the high resolution images from Google Art Project. (Thanks gabadabo! Didn't know about it)
http://gigafineart.herokuapp.com/gcidownload
(Chrome only)
the whole site has been ripped by some guy and all the images are listed here under each artist name in high res (le fuck google meme)

you wont find everything there. to really find everything and exacly what your are looking for you need to circumnivagte indivudal musems. find out wich musem is housing a certain piece and most have an online version, they will have high res scans of their art for the public and you can download them their.

also you can always try searching a artists name for example leyndecker and restrict image size to large or 2mb+ and that will give a bunch of blogs or sites that collect art works
