Look a little closer.Recall before you reveal.Come back to art.
You’ve seen these paintings a hundred times — in museums, feeds and quizzes. The image is familiar; the name is gone.
A few minutes of spaced repetition a day can help you remember all fifty: the title, the artist, and the details that give each painting away.

From Leonardo to Malevich
01 / INSIDE EACH CARD
Look. Recall.
Then discover more.
Front: one question
Just the painting and one question. No hints.
Back: the essentials
Title, including the original-language name, artist and dates, year, museum and movement.
Details that stay with you
A “what you see” summary, three visual cues that identify this exact painting, and a one-line memory hook.
02 / AUDIO GUIDE
Answers you
can listen to.
Each artwork comes with two narrations: a quick “title — artist — year” for fast reviews, and a 60–100-word audio-guide story.
Dates are read naturally — “eighteen eighty-nine”, never a robotic string of digits.
03 / THE DETAILS MATTER
Fact-checked,
not AI-guessed.
Every date, museum and attribution is cross-checked against Wikipedia and museum catalogues — down to details like the Louvre’s 2024 restoration findings on Liberty Leading the People.
Reproductions show the exact version named on the card — the Amsterdam Bedroom, the London Sunflowers — sourced from Wikimedia Commons with a source link on every card. All 50 works are in the public domain.
Van Gogh · Leonardo · Vermeer · Monet · Hokusai · Klimt · Munch · Rembrandt · Velázquez · Caravaggio · Goya · Michelangelo · Degas · Renoir · Cézanne · Gauguin · Malevich — and 27 more
