morning masterpiece.
Enjoy the art

A few masterpieces in your inbox,
every morning.

Morning Masterpiece is a playful way to enjoy and learn art from your email.

This morning

Do you know who painted this?

450+ artworks by 200+ artists, and growing - from the ones everybody knows to the ones almost nobody does.

How a morning works
I

It arrives at dawn

One email, your artworks inside it, and a single question for each - no preamble, nothing to scroll past.

II

You answer honestly

Two buttons. Knowing and not knowing are worth exactly the same, so there is nothing to game - only yourself to be straight with.

III

The piece opens up

Who made it and when they lived, the title, the year, the movement - and something genuinely interesting about this particular work.

Why it sticks

Flashcards principle - your answer decides when you see it again.

This is the quiet part. Every answer reschedules the artwork - sooner if it slipped past you, later once it has settled. Nothing is ever retired for good, so the pieces you learned keep drifting back long after you stopped worrying about them.

You knew itback in a month → then three → then a long orbit
You didn’tback within a few days
You ignored the emailback in two or three weeks anyway

And if you thought you knew but had it wrong, a link on the page brings it back sooner.

Points system

The further you go, the deeper the collection opens.

Everyone starts among the names you would expect. Answering earns points - and as your title climbs, artists the earlier titles held back begin turning up in your mornings.
