This is a shared resource brought to you by the Solar Art Archive ( here on HIVE), a public domain collection of art and materials designed to be reused and remixed in however the artist sees fit. See more of our collections in the Beyond Copyright community here on the HIVE blockchain or explore our entire collection on the LBRY file sharing platform.
There are a myriad of resources available to find these materials online. Not all sites are created equal, and there are several different approaches on how these sites work.
A few years ago, the Cleveland Museum of Art digitized much of their huge collection of works, and made a fantastic interface for searching through this material. While not all of their materials are public domain,there are good filters and one options known as "Open Access". If a piece of art is in the public domain, there is usually a high quality TIFF available to download.

Watch the video at the top of the post for an overview and walkthrough of this tool.
Even if you aren't looking for materials to use, this is an amazing resource. There are hundreds of thousands of images to look at which cover so many types of art and history, it's quite staggering.
