The whole text of Blake's Marriage of Heaven and Hell (1790-93), along with scans of many of the images.
McNaughton Fine Art -- "One Nation Under God"
Remarkable piece of religious art that shows Jesus holding a copy of the Constitution with a tableau of quintessentially American figures behind him -- from Harriet Tubman and Ben Franklin to Christa McAuliffe and JFK. In front of Christ are a group of good people on the right (a teacher, a mother with a "handicap child", a solder and a college student carrying an influential Mormon text) and bad people on the left (a Supreme Court justice, a "liberal reporter," a smug-looking professor with a copy of Darwin's Origin, "Mr. Hollywood," and Satan).
Neil Pardington - Home
Over a hundred images by photographer and designer Neil Pardington. The ones that grabbed my attention are images of hospital operating rooms, which were featured on But Does It Float (http://butdoesitfloat.com/96582). Someone posted a link to this on Twitter but I forget who.
Goya's black paintings
A collection of images of Goya's so-called "black paintings," which he painted al secco (i.e., fresco) style onto the walls of his private residence between 1820 and 1824 (he died in 1828). It seems likely that he never intended for anyone outside his very private circle (if indeed anyone other than himself) to see them. They're extremely disturbing, dark, surreal, and violent.
Goya | The Black Paintings (E.E. Weems)
A collection of images of Goya's so-called "black paintings," which he painted al secco (i.e., fresco) style onto the walls of his private residence between 1820 and 1824 (he died in 1828). It seems likely that he never intended for anyone outside his very private circle (if indeed anyone other than himself) to see them. They're extremely disturbing, dark, surreal, and violent. This site also has extensive resources (including high-quality, watermarked reproductions) for other parts of Goya's oeuvre.
Mennonite Library and Archives - Martyrs Mirror Images
Images of various martyrs scanned from the 1685 edition of the Martyrs' Mirror. Etchings are by Jan Luikens. Image quality varies.
