At this beautiful new site, Geocoded Art, landscape paintings are geocoded and can be searched with a map interface. Or you can look up a favorite work by artist or title, and find out where in the world it was painted. All works are in the public domain. This is already a rich database which hopefully will continue to grow. This will surely be a favorite for art-history courses, giving context to paintings. However the stated goal is also “to use fine art to illuminate geography”. Found this via Google Maps Mania.
