Welcome to my Wikidata userpage

[edit]

I am active in theVisual Arts projectand"Sum of all paintings" project.I made the overview page forHofstede de Groot.I work mostly on Dutch 17th-century art, such as gettingmore Frans Hals paintingson Wikipedia, but I am also known for my listerialists of painters or paintings.These lists are generated from Wikidata, where painters and paintings are linked via various properties to external sources, such as GLAM databases, dictionaries of biography, or art catalogs. I have been active working on catalogs of paintings and matching these to paintings of galleries that include paintings; seeThe Art Gallery of Jan Gildemeester Jansz(Q17337965),The Gallery of Cornelis van der Geest(Q19960951),orArchduke Leopold Wilhelm in his Gallery in Brussels(Q19960950)as a 17th-century view of the first art catalogTheatrum pictorium(Q26709924).

I am also a member of the WMNL Gendergap workgroup and kept aGendergap reportin my userspace (later moved to a WikiProject for Women) which I have updated a few times using Wikidata queries.

I enjoy trying out new tools to help visualize art through the centuries. I can recommend the query service, the mapping tool and histropedia. On my wishlist are 1) way to link a painting item directly to specific mentions in old Wikisource entries (such as the Italian wikisource version of Vasari, the grandfather of art historians, but also illustrations of people, places or concepts), and 2) a slider tool on commons to slide an old painting across a mirror-image engraving of it or an modern x-ray version of it. Other suggestions I have had have been made into tasks on Phabricator (such as T99899 for looking up painters or paintings by ID numbers, or T120780 for media viewer improvements when the media is a painting or other artwork already on Wikidata).

In 2020 I helped organizeWikidata:Eighth Birthday/India/Datathon/Sum of all Indian paintings.Here is the October 11th 2020 introon YouTube.

Wikidata as an art hub

[edit]

Wikidata looks fairly sparse and can seem very confusing to art lovers who expect to see full color representations of artworks. Wikidata is not illustrated, and for artworks this is irrelevant anyway, because Wikidata has lots of data about artworks that cannot be hosted on Wikimedia Commons due to copyright restrictions. Wikidata may or may not contain an artwork, depending on (1) whether the artwork is in a collection that has been included as part of a project, such as an art catalog or a museum collection, or (2) whether the artwork has a Wikipedia article in some Wikipedia language. Once in Wikidata, the item for the artwork may undergo several revisions, as data is added to it by various projects. A typical example is updates to the label for each Wikipedia that creates an article for the artwork, whereby the new label is added to the proper language label. Sometimes the record is updated because the artwork falls under the radar of some other project, such as an effort to gather all paintings of waterfalls, or all artworks in a specific city, or all artworks from a particular catalog. To understand the benefits of working on items in Wikidata, it may help to follow the project I am a member of: Wikidata:WikiProject sum of all paintings.This project has lots of talk pages in Wikidata namespace, mostly auto-generated "listeria" lists likeWikidata:WikiProject sum of all paintings/CopiesandWikidata:WikiProject sum of all paintings/Pendant portraits.

Where are the paintings?

[edit]
  • First of all, you can count how many we have today:
SELECT(COUNT(DISTINCT?item)AS?count)WHERE{
?itemwdt:P31wd:Q3305213.
}
Try it!
  • Paintings on Wikidata (with Wikipedia articles) per year of creation:
#defaultView:BarChart
SELECT?year(COUNT(?year)AS?count)WHERE{
?itemwdt:P31wd:Q3305213;
wdt:P571?inception.
BIND(YEAR(?inception)AS?year)
FILTER(?year<1900)
FILTER(?year>1400)
?articleschema:about?item;
schema:isPartOf?wiki.
FILTER(REGEX(STR(?wiki),".+.wikipedia.org"))
}
GROUP BY?year
ORDER BY?year
LIMIT500
Try it!
#defaultView:Map
SELECTDISTINCT?collection?geolocwhere{
