Histolines shared thousands of historical images from The Art Institute of Chicago

Histolines organized and shared over 27K thousands of artwork images from The Art Institute of Chicago to our interactive historical timeline of events, and images.

These images were released under Open Access Images Licensing. Histolines build natural language crawlers that pick out names, locations, and dates in the image description to organize them in timelines.

These images have enriched the timelines of Vincent van Gogh, Edgar Degas, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and thousands of other artists to help us get a more complete understanding of their life and creative development. Check out the highlights of Art Institute collection and in various timelines on the site.
