Teaching Fine Art Alongside Leaflet

I actually similar the Leaflet-IIIF plug-in for creating a Leaflet based browser for IIIF manifests. I mean value it has enormous potential for creating explanatory lessons nigh paintings as well as manuscripts shared using IIIF.

The Leaflet-IIIF plug-in page on Github has a few event maps. However none of them include whatsoever interactivity. I've thus created a quick event using Van Gogh's Self-Portrait Dedicated to Gauguin. My Vincent Van Gogh self-portrait event pans as well as zooms the map to explore unlike features inwards the painting. If yous click on a push clitoris the map zooms inwards on a characteristic inwards the epitome as well as loads some explanatory text beneath the painting.



You could of course of pedagogy operate other features from Leaflet.js. For event yous could add together markers to the pic which users could interact alongside to explore these marked areas of the painting. Alternatively yous could add together polygon shapes approximately unlike features that when clicked opened upward an information window alongside explanatory text. The possibilities are actually exclusively express yesteryear your imagination.

The epitome 'Self-Portrait Dedicated to Paul Gauguin' belongs to the Harvard Art Museums. The pitiful attempts at fine art criticism are my ain as well as should hold out taken alongside a pinch of salt.
