Hi!
Well, when people asked me how I decorated my Palazzo di Venezia and wantd the art, I had to figure out a way to do it. My game had crashed due to blotation of the download folder.
SO, after I rebuilt my game, I ended up redoing the central atrium, which I like much better. Along with that, I spent days and days searching through MTS2 for the art I hand spent months aquiring which would be suitable for palazzo type paintings. I found a few but not everything I would like to have.
While I did find the Birth of Venus, it was on a small frame. The actual masterpiece is about 15 by 29 feet so it really needed to be on a larger frame. After searching the world's online museums, I found a good enough image file, so I redid it closer to the actual size, scaled to sims. I did the same for several other masterpieces which I will upload here. I want to do Leonardo DaVinci's 'The Last Supper' to sim scale. I'm still searching the online museums for a good enough image file.
None of this would be possible of course if not for the wonderful tutorials made by Numenor - Recoloring Objects with Object Workshop (new):
