Artle (artle.eu)
Name the artist behind the day's artwork, then its year and style.
Every day: One numbered artwork a day, the same for every player: guess the artist in three tries, then bonus rounds on the year and a defining attribute of the work. New puzzle: Midnight in your local time (the game uses your device's date).
Artle shows one artwork a day from a museum collection and asks who made it, with three tries to name the artist. Two bonus rounds follow, on the year the work was made and a defining attribute of it. Your result shares as a numbered Artle score.
About Artle (artle.eu)
Artle is a daily art quiz in the browser. Each day it shows one artwork and asks a single question: who made it. You get three tries to name the artist, typing into a box that suggests names as you go, so you do not have to spell them from memory.
After the artist round come two short bonus rounds on the same work: the year it was made and a defining attribute such as its style or movement. The artwork is the same for everyone on a given day, numbered so you can compare, and the puzzle turns over at local midnight.
The images come from Wikimedia Commons and open museum collections, which the site credits at the foot of the page. It is free to play and carries ads, with a tip jar for the maker. A linked sister quiz, Kviss, offers a separate daily round.
It suits anyone who likes recognising painters and testing how much they can read from a single picture: the subject, the palette and the brushwork all point towards an artist and a period.
How to play Artle (artle.eu)
- Look at the day's artwork at the top of the page.
- Type an artist's name and pick from the suggestions, then press Guess.
- Use up to three tries to name the artist; each miss narrows your thinking.
- Play the two bonus rounds on the same work: the year it was made and a defining attribute such as its style.
- Share your numbered result and come back for a new artwork tomorrow.
Tips
- Read the style before the subject: brushwork, palette and framing often place a work in a period faster than the scene does.
- If you are unsure of the exact artist, start with a name from the right movement; the suggestions may jog the correct one.
- For the year round, anchor on the movement you settled on, since styles map roughly onto decades.
