Hidden Paintings revealed online (13/07/2011)
Leeds digital agency Numiko has been instrumental in developing the freshly launched Your Paintings website for the BBC. Previously hidden away, 200,000 paintings that document our rich history will be accessible on the web, for everyone to enjoy, for free. The first phase has seen a whopping 63,000 paintings uploaded online for all to see, and it will eventually build up to 200,000. It's a really valuable project for anyone with an interest in art, from professional art historians, through to people who want to see Turner's famous Yorkshire skies for themselves.
