Please do not abuse these sort of services. Sure, downloading one-offs for legitimate personal use is fine (in my opinion) but please be reasonable and avoid discouraging them of publishing more stuff or even locking down the existing collections more down.

Sure I understand it's bit annoying that they do not provide the higher resolution as downloads, and that they don't have more liberal license. But it is still pretty nice service and reasonably well done imo. This could be the baby steps for more open collections, but egregious abuse probably will not help in getting them into right direction.

Someone could offer a torrent file or ipfs hash to the files so other people don't have to hug their bandwidth to death.

What kind of dimensions do you get from the tiled downloads? I grabbed a few of the 'large' JPGs the site offers and wonder how much of a difference there is.

Three random ones all by van Gogh:

   The Yellow House (The Street) | 6917 x 5366 
   Almond Blossom                | 7149 x 5649
   The Bedroom                   | 7187 x 5674

I was hoping someone in the comments would have rolled a scraper for this. Nicely done :-)

There was an bug that I just fixed so make sure to pull it again.

Too bad it looks like the largest resolution available is inadequate for printing.

That entirely depends on the size of the print you had in mind
