I like how it has full-size downloads and synopsis of the artists. They have one of the better mobile experiences. Include details on art whereabouts and an overview of each collector's collection.
NGA is one of many museum websites. I've just been using the site more frequently.

There are a few museum databases where you can look at their art online. I can’t think of the specific Italian ones but I know there are quite a few
The Getty museum in LA just added a bunch of stuff to theirs / opened it up (linked to it)
Maybe search a museum or artist followed by Creative Commons or open content!

I‘ve been getting/downloading prints of paintings from this site since I was a teenager. you can download hi-res images of the paintings and use them for whatever you’d like. I used to use them as notebook covers because I didn’t like the original covers some of my notebooks for school had. now I just like scrolling on the website (another thing I love! scrolling through websites.) and looking at the paintings/drawings/photographs.

I get very tired at art museums, so once I get the lay of the land, my next visit is usually just one or two pieces, for maybe 10 minutes of absorption. Examples: the Frank Stella wall piece on the staircase at SF MOMA, the painting at the National Gallery East by some Dutch master from the perspective of inside a deep riverbed with two bridges and some city buildings above, the Iranian metalwork vessels with amazing mosaic bead work at the Sackler Gallery. In and out, tightly focused.
