About Hear Art
Every masterpiece has a story. Hear Art tells it. Pick a painting and press "Watch the story": a short cinematic film opens with the world it was painted in, the life of the painter, and the history that followed — then moves in close and shows you exactly where to look, detail by detail, as a narrator reads the canvas aloud. It is the feeling of a great museum guide leaning in to say, "now look here." WHAT YOU GET • 119 masterpieces from six centuries and 12 countries — Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring, Hokusai's Great Wave, Van Gogh's Starry Night, Goya, Klimt, Monet and many more • A cinematic film for every painting — the backstory, the painter, the history, and a guided close reading of the details • Narrated in eight languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean and Chinese • Museum guides for the Louvre and the Prado — a 3D floor map with walking routes that takes you straight to the painting, and the museums' most famous works pinned on every floor with the key details to look for • Browse by painter, by museum, by movement or by country • Landscape and portrait films, made for iPhone and iPad • A calm editorial design — no clutter, no ads, no tracking FREE TO START, YOURS TO KEEP Ten paintings are free to explore. Unlock the entire collection — and every painting added in the future — with a single one-time purchase. No subscription, ever. Every artwork is in the public domain, sourced from museum open-access collections. Hear Art is for anyone who has stood in front of a painting and wished someone would tell them where to look.
