About ArtStudy

ArtStudy trains your eye on the great painters. You see a painting, name the artist from four choices, and — right or wrong — learn how to recognize that artist's style in seconds. A little every day, and the masters stop blurring together.

Why it exists

Most people can enjoy a museum but can't tell a Monet from a Manet, a Baroque scene from a Romantic one. That's not a lack of taste — it's a lack of reps. Recognizing style is a trainable skill, like an ear for music. ArtStudy turns it into a quick, addictive game instead of a textbook.

How it works

Each round shows a real painting and asks who made it. After you answer, a short note explains the tells — brushwork, light, colour, subject — so the next one is easier. Play non-stop, take the daily ten, challenge a friend to the very same round, or focus on a single movement, era, or country.

Where the images come from

Paintings are drawn primarily from Wikimedia Commons / Wikidata — open, freely-licensed reproductions spanning collections worldwide — with the Art Institute of Chicago and The Met as fallback sources. Titles appear in your language where available. The whole interface is localized into seven languages.

Who makes ArtStudy

ArtStudy is built by two people:

The daily round is free and always will be, and there are no ads. An optional subscription — the Museum Pass — adds endless rounds, lessons on the painters you keep mixing up, and deeper comparisons with friends; you can also earn a free month by bringing three friends who play. Analytics are privacy-conscious, and we don't sell anything about you. Start playing → artstudyfun.com
