How to play
It's simple:
1. Look at the painting at the top of the screen.
2. Below it are four names. Pick the one you think painted it.
3. A correct answer earns coins and points; a wrong one highlights the real author so you remember it.
4. After each answer you see the painting's title and its creator. Read these captions — it's the best way to train your eye.
5. Spend the coins you collect to unlock new chapters: six in all, by era and school of painting.
