The attribution of this painting is still questioned by some scholars. "The inventor of painting...was Narcissus...What is painting but the act of embracing by means of art the surface of the pool?". The Renaissance theorist Leon Battista Alberti. To view the original, visit the The Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Antica in Rome.
Flickr is really useful for uploading and image sharing. I can see the benefits of tagging images to enhance the search using terms meaningful to the layperson, as well as our current approach using keyword searching and subject headings. Had a look at the Flickr PictureAustralia project, Flickr mashups, tools and Mappr. It is interesting to see new projects utilizing images not held in the usual image collections.
