Art Match · Oct 15, 2026

Art Match is a free daily art quiz. Each round puts 3 famous public-domain paintings beside the names of the artists who made them, and asks you to put them back together against the clock. Your solve time goes on that day’s leaderboard.

How to play: tap an artist’s name, then tap their painting — or drag the name straight onto the canvas. A wrong match costs an eight-second penalty, so look before you commit. The tells are in the paint: brushwork, palette, how the artist handles light, and whether the picture was built for a cathedral, a merchant’s parlour or a print shop.

Today’s artists: Giorgione, Jean-Honoré Fragonard and Gustav Klimt. The set spans 3 movements, which is the easier mode — when the centuries differ, the styles do half the work for you.

• Renaissance — rebuilt the world on a grid: linear perspective, anatomy studied from life, and a new confidence that a flat panel could hold real depth.
• Rococo — traded Baroque thunder for pastel and wit: garden parties, silk, and a deliberately light touch its critics never quite forgave.
• Early Modern — broke the picture open — colour off the leash, figures rebuilt from planes, and four centuries of convention up for renegotiation.

Every work in the bank is in the public domain and is served from our own copy of the image; each caption links back to the painting’s page on Wikipedia. A new Art Match posts several mornings a week — browse the past Art Matches or find the rest of the free daily games.
