Catalogs document the paintings that used to be in public collections, were lost to theft or accident, sold for unusually high prices (we can't yet include data about prices paid), or which were notable for some other reason. Old catalogs help trace the provenance of paintings as to owner, attribution or location. You can add items for catalogs and add one catalog number to one painting, or model entire catalogs. The numbers of the artworks used in catalogs is open data. For older paintings, we can just fill these in. For catalogs listed by publisher or institution, see c:Category:Catalogs of art by institutions.

Try to find the "recognized" art historian for the specific painter you are studying. If the art historian doesn't exist create an item for them, but first check the name using the Dictionary of Art Historians (Q17166797).
