Benezit Dictionary of Artists

With entries on nearly 170,000 artists, the Benezit is one of the most comprehensive and definitive resources on artists. Now available through the Oxford Art Online gateway, unique features include the dictionary's coverage of obscure artists and the inclusion of images of artists' signatures, monograms, and stamps. Valued for both its wide coverage of lesser-known artists and its deep coverage of artists occupying the core pantheon of art, the Benezit is an essential resource for scholars, librarians, museum curators, art dealers, and collectors.
