Best way to download images from Google Arts & Culture?

[edit]

I want to download faithful photographic reproductions of public domain two-dimensional artworks from Google Arts & Culture (formerly known as Google Art Project) such as this one and then upload them to Wikimedia Commons. Many of the artworks made available under the old Google Art Project banner have been uploaded through concerted efforts to Commons such as ones seen here but the rebranding into Google Arts & Culture also came with many new available artworks that have not been uploaded yet.

What is the best way to download images from Google Arts & Culture at maximum zoom level? Will Dezoomify accomplish this objective? I did try Google Image search but I highly I doubt that the image I found was at maximum zoom level. StellarHalo (talk) 11:53, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You want to web scrape the images and if you want to do it at any scale, it wouldn't surprise me if they put some obstacles like recaptcha in your way. Take a look here though. 2602:24A:DE47:BB20:50DE:F402:42A6:A17D (talk) 14:00, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
There is another hurdle... Those images are fed in tiles, not a single image. 97.82.165.112 (talk) 18:37, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
