OK....I found a better site for searching art by subject. Artcyclopedia, while a decent site, only allows you to search by artist, title, or museum. Searching by title is fine, as long as the subject is in the title. But what if the subject isn't in the title, like the famous painting of the 2 grim farmers titled "American Gothic?" The title has nothing to do with farming! By the way, did you know that the two people in that painting are supposed to represent a father and daughter, not a married couple? The man was artist Grant Wood's dentist and the woman was Grant's sister!
A better site, I think, for searching by subject is called Artchive. Try it out and then let me know how you think it compares to Artcyclopedia.
