Anybody know of any good places to get large, widescreen desktop pictures (1680x1050 or better)?

I'd really like some real art... such as Monet, or others.

Pixelgirl Presents and InterfaceLIFT have options to filter by resolution and have some pretty snazzy ones.

[Edit]Sorry didn't see your comment about wanting fine art walls... dunno about that, you could always try finding some high res pics and cropping them to your resolution.

Wow, that second site has a LOT. Not much fine art, although some great photography.

I've had a hard time finding any paintings or anything that are high enough resolution. The highest I can find is 1280x1024... although I'm sure there is more out there somewhere.

Another one is http://www.digitalblasphemy.com.

They do charge a fee to access most of the site, but they have a very nice free gallery that gets updated pretty regularly.

I might check into the stuff Roku has.

Their collection isn't free (or cheap) but they do have a lot of classic art HD pictures that I would guess could be used as wallpaper.
