Search tips

Wildcard searching allows you to broaden your search or capture different spellings or endings of a word. This is useful if you're searching for names with alternative spellings or you're unsure of the correct spelling of an artist's name. Eg 'Phil*' will find both 'Philips' and 'Phillips'.

If you're unable to find an artist or a specific painting by searching, try looking at the full listings. These are available through the 'Show me all paintings' and 'Show me all artists' links on the Explore the collection page.

Make keywords as specific as possible. Eg 'portrait painter' or 'history painter' will give you more relevant search results.

The fastest way to find a specific painting is to search using the Repro ID.
