I got 45/50.

I know there are some art fans on here, so I fully expect to be beaten.

Bloody thing keeps restarting after 10 or 11 questions Cry

So much crap loading on every page, most computers can't handle it.

I thought it had done that to me, but I scrolled down and the next question was there.
Report Foinavon • August 14, 2017 6:39 PM BST
Some very famous painting there, Jack. I think the art lovers on here will recognise nearly all of them. How many could you name without the clues?
Report STUDYFORM • August 14, 2017 6:45 PM BST
After Q11 - the whole screen went white and it started again, twice. Sad

It IS easier with the clues, Yes.
I'm going to try again with a different browser.

Can You Name All 50 Famous Paintings In This Quiz?
48 out of 50!


Bloody well seen 'Las Meninas' in Madrid also

Interesting quiz, though I'd say a third a 12yo with no interest in art could guess by the titles

Thank you

Well I needed the titles. I thought it was necklace, not earring.
Report STUDYFORM • August 14, 2017 9:28 PM BST
only 46/50
Given that most of them were so obvious, that isn't good.

I reckon that without the multiple choice I'd have got 10 or less.

You're getting Paintings and videos mixed up crisp.

Stopped doing these online things as I'm simply too clever...

I certainly would have got a lot fewer without the clues!  Hard too say how many.  Maybe 8 or 10?
Report Jack Hacksaw • August 15, 2017 9:53 AM BST
In total - not 10 fewer!

the point is not can you name them, the name is not important.
it is do you recognise them
48/50
Report pixie • August 15, 2017 11:51 AM BST
49/50. Like others have said, I doubt I would get more than 5 without the multi guess.
Report lfc1971 • August 15, 2017 11:55 AM BST
If you don't recognise the paintings without the given titles then your true score is 5
Report lfc1971 • August 15, 2017 11:56 AM BST
At the same time a persons true score could be 50, without being able to name any.
Report lfc1971 • August 15, 2017 11:59 AM BST
It is the difference between knowledge, and understanding.
Understanding is much more important.
Report lfc1971 • August 15, 2017 12:20 PM BST
here is the important question
Do you recognise these paintings ?
And the answer should be Yes/No
Pixie may have scored 50/50 in that way
I don't know
They asked the wrong question.
Report lfc1971 • August 15, 2017 12:33 PM BST
There has only been one important name for a painting in history?

Monet:  Impression , sunrise.
Report Lady Faye Verrit • August 15, 2017 1:44 PM BST
Too easy with multiple answers.

I got 47, but only because some I didn't recognise were too easy to select.
