Artstor is an invaluable image resource comprising over 2.5 million images across 300 collections.
Two major reasons why Artstor is better than Google Images:
Images are also extremely high-quality, allowing you to zoom in and examine the fine detail of art objects.
To get the most out of Artstor, register for a free Artstor account. This will allow you to download images, save them to groups, create presentations, and share them with other Artstor users.

Apart from Artstor, here are some other other Library databases that are useful for finding images:
An image database featuring a wide range of images from some of the world's leading museums, photo archives, scholars, and artists. It covers many time periods and cultures, and documents the fields of architecture, painting, sculpture, photography, decorative arts, design, anthropology, ethnographic and women studies, as well as many other forms of visual culture. All images are accompanied by comprehensive metadata and are rights-cleared for educational use.
A unique and comprehensive collection of art masterpieces of all varieties: historical, European, Asian, American, and more.
Provides access to the full text of the National Geographic magazine archive. Topics include history, nature, anthropology, and more.
A complete digital archive of the Picture Post, the iconic newspaper published in Britain from 1938-1957 that defined the style of photojournalism in the 20th century. It provides snapshots of the daily life of ordinary people, as well as moments of historical importance in domestic and international affairs.
