Welcome to the Mimenta Art Website

This site began as a teaching resource for my own Art History lectures and has been on line since July 2006. In 2011 it was viewed by 11,783,000 different people and is listed as a course reference by 47 Universities internationally. Your interest has kept us going all those years with this labour of love. Thankyou for your continued support.

Thankyou also, to those people who have allowed us to publish images of treasures from their private collections without any restrictions, so students around the world can re-use these images for educational purposes.

Interested in Art? . . . You have come to the right place.

Art History? For art history students, we have a comprehensive explanation of the different periods of art, along with examples of works from the Artists themselves, in the "Visual Arts" Section, under the "Art History - From Pre-History to Cubism" section. This is designed in interactive format and is full of surprises so click of the images, you might be pleasantly surprised.

Mimenta's Creative Solutions Mall is our online store. If it's reference books, posters or inspirational ideas you are after, try our Creative Solutions Mall - click on the products button at the top left of the screen. We have scoured the Internet for the best prices from the most reliable suppliers.

Visual Art Aspiring artists can see the various aspects of the art trade from painting restorations, conservation framing, oil painting, photography and works on paper. There is even a history of paper and printing.

On Line Gallery - Contributing artists may find some motivation in the Gallery section. The works on display are not for sale but the artists can be contacted through our "Contact Us" link for commissions and information. However the main reason for this section is to debut artists and demonstrate one way that artists can display their works to the public.

Digital Art - We are not just about paintings, sculptures and Art History. We also represent the digital side of art too but specifically web design. Digital art is well represented on the Internet however we seem to have forgotten those crazy artists who slave away in the wee hours to bring us websites that are works of art in their own right.
