Which painting is it?
Every segment of the wheel is a painting. Press SPIN!, look at the picture and pick its title from four:
Everybody knows the Mona Lisa. Fewer people can tell The Hay Wain from The Hunters in the Snow, or a Renoir from a Manet – and the wrong answers come from the same era, so the choice is between paintings that look alike.

About the pictures
Every painting here is old enough to be in the public domain, and the pictures are from Wikimedia Commons. That is also why a few favourites of the 20th century are missing: their painters died too recently for their work to be free to show.
How to learn them
- Start with one group.
- Open Options and tick Take the ones I got right off the wheel.
- Spin until the wheel is empty – what is left at the end is what you do not know yet.
- Then look the painters up – the titles stick better with a name and a century.
