Help for selecting paintings in the work catalogue - german version

This new version of the work catalogue uses a database which allows a variety of search methods (see below).

The result of a search is a list of painting which are shown as small photos with basic information about database number, title, photo reference, technique, size, year (if this information is available), and possibly a comment and the owner, if the latter is a museum or similar.

If one clicks on one of the photos in the displayed list, this painting will show up on a larger scale, together with the basic information (see above), plus additional information (if available) about when and where it was sold, whether it was shown in exhibitions or mentioned in the literature, and other things. This large display contains two buttons "<" and ">" which allow to go to the previous or next painting in the list.

The following search methods are provided:

1. Search paintings or drawings.
2. Selection by category: Each work is classified into one of the categories shown in the pull-down menu. Only works belonging to the selected catagory will be contained in the resultig list.
3. Selection by keyword in title: The user can enter a word here, and those works will be selected that contain this word within their title.
4. Selection by place of the object : One can select works belonging to certain regions ( e.g. Italy, Poland, Sylt, etc.) or to certain places (cities or villages) as far as this is known.
5. Dated paintings only: If this option is selected, only dated workw will be selected. And they will be ordered, within the displayed list, in the order of the year.

It is important to note that the works shown in the search result list will have to satisfy ALL selection conditions (1) through (5) above.
