What is the Public Domain?

Most art that is more 75 year older than the artist's death is now in the Public Domain.

This means anyone can print or sell it without copywrite infringements. In fact, most of the "vintage" art sold across the internet is sourced from the Public Domain.

Where to Find Public Domain Art?

You can find Public Domain Art in a number of places, including dedicated public domain art sites, and many museum collections. Usually, pictures greater than 2000px cant be printed in any size.

Below are some of our favorites.

Artvee

Artvee is our favorite public domain resource because of their images are consistently the highest quality, and the ability to create pinterest-style collections. We often collect "coming soon" pictures in these collections.

Create your own collections or explore some Sage and Rose Collections.

WikiMedia Commons

Wikimedia is where all the images in Wikipedia are stored and have high-res downloads.
