This project aims to visualize the creative work of famous painters and look at it through the prism of color. Each digital portrait shows the dominant colors of the author's paintings and provides detailed information about the canvas after a click.
In addition, there are filters if someone is interested in a specific movement or century.
Our website has a pedagogical purpose too. It may be a great way to study art playfully. Moreover, there is an attempt to broaden the digital humanities practices.
To run this project locally type npm install in your terminal.
After that, write npm run api for the server with data to work.
Then start the React app with npm start .
Enjoy coding!
Contributors are always welcome! It would be interesting to get some ideas about the visualization of the portraits gallery in particular.

The idea for this project was inspired by the work “The Colors of Motion” by Charlie Clark, who created the fun visualization of colors in movies.
