Quick note to say if you haven't seen it, this is a good website for an art binge: WGA. Its actually not a good looking website, feels a little dated, but it has a solid image database to get lost in.
I initially directed students to it for a place to browse for work they found interesting (rather than the terrifying things they find on google images) and I found a lot of weird and good images myself.
I like the way it suggests genres and artists, and the image quality is pretty high...you can also browse around in different cathedrals and palaces which is cool. I never thought I would miss seeing the inside of a church while I was studying abroad and practically felt like I was living in them, but now its been a while and it scratches the itch for finding obscure, weird, beautiful, forgotten things...
