Need gothic images site

September 2, 2024 9:55 AM

I'd like a website source for mostly traditionally flavored gothic art that I can use. Not AI art.

You can filter many museum collections for art that has some kind of open license. For instance, if you search the Met for “Giotto” with the “Open Access” flag you’ll get lots of high-res images that allow you to "freely copy, modify and distribute...even for commercial purposes."

I think you want Old Book Illustrations. These all have a Creative Commons license.

Best answer: Oh yeah maybe you mean Gothic as in “Gothic novel” or even 80’s goth and not like Gothic art in which case adjust your search terms accordingly. It would be funny if Sandman fans went around dressed like medieval frescos though.

These all have a Creative Commons license.

This is not what their Terms of Use page asserts; it is a good collection of images, though!
