PaintedBy identifies paintings, drawings and prints from a single photo. You get the artist, the period, the style, and one thing worth knowing about the work, in a card that reads like a museum label.
One email when PaintedBy launches. No spam.
The camera is ready the moment the app opens. Frame the painting, drawing or print, and keep glare off the glass.
PaintedBy reads the brushwork, palette and composition, and matches what it sees against the history of art.
Artist, title, date, movement, medium, where to see it, and one fact that changes how you look at it.
Museums fit a whole artwork onto a few lines of text. PaintedBy gives you that label for any work you photograph, then goes one step further.

Galleries are dark on purpose. PaintedBy brightens your photo before reading it, with no flash glare on varnished paint.
Every result shows how sure PaintedBy is. If a work isn't one it knows, it says so and estimates the style and period instead of inventing a name.
PaintedBy reads the photo and lets it go. Your history keeps the details and the artwork's colours, not the picture, so it never fills your phone.
Because it is the first question in front of any artwork: who painted this? Old masters answered it with one Latin word beside their signature, “pinxit”, meaning “painted by”. PaintedBy answers it for any artwork you photograph, and tells you the story behind the name.
PaintedBy is in development now. Leave your email above and we'll send one message the day it's available on the App Store and Google Play.
Paintings, drawings and prints, from the Renaissance to the twentieth century and beyond. Famous works are identified by name. Lesser-known works get an estimate of their style, period and technique, clearly marked as an estimate.
Yes. That's what it's built for. Low-light mode handles dim galleries, and you never need flash. Always follow each museum's photography rules.
Pricing will be announced at launch. Everyone on the list will hear first.
