I really wish more high definition scans were made of old artwork. Especially renaissance paintings. I get that this will probably rob some museums of ticket revenue, but people like me can't afford to fly to Europe and visit these museums anyways.

I posted a high resolution scan for this thread [1] and HN users complained and flagged it off the front page and down many many pages.

There are a few, but not as much as I'd like. However you can get giant Taschen monographs on a a decent selection of major artists for reasonable prices. They offer a better viewing experience in some ways than the average gallery or museum, especially for artists like Bruegel and Bosch.
