About this game

One painting and four painters: choose the one who made it. Every painter in this game has more than one work in the collection, so the names repeat and the game rewards you for learning a hand rather than memorising a single picture. One mistake ends the run.

Tips for playing

Painters give themselves away by habit. Monet returns to the same scene in different light; Renoir softens faces and edges; Van Gogh lays paint in visible directional strokes; Degas crops figures like a photograph; Cézanne builds form from flat patches of colour. Subject helps too — Toulouse-Lautrec at the cabaret, Cassatt with mothers and children.

How this measure is defined

The painter is the one the museum credits, using the museum’s own form of the name. Only painters with more than one work in the collection appear, and the wrong options are other painters from the same collection. Attribution can change as scholarship changes; the museum’s current record is what counts here.
