Wheel of Affinities

Let one painting lead you to the next

Welcome. Every artwork orbiting this wheel shares a thread with “The Lovers of Painting”. Take your time, follow what catches your eye, and let curiosity carry you from one masterpiece to another.

How to explore

Drag left or right to spin the wheel.
Drag up or down — or scroll — to zoom in and out.
Hover an artwork to reveal its title and affinities; click to open it.

The eight directions: Each spoke is a kind of kinship — period, movement, vibe, topics, keywords, tone and main colour, plus “other” for the freer, more surprising matches.
Distance from the centre: The closer a work sits to the heart of the wheel, the stronger its bond with this painting. Works near the rim are looser, more unexpected echoes — often the most rewarding to discover.
