Knowledge Atlas

About Knowledge Atlas

by Anushree Joshi

Knowledge Atlas is a living, curated map of the artists, authors, and philosophers. This artifact is an attempt to teach myself art history places where they lived, and shown across the span of when they were alive, the movements they were a part of.

Hover a portrait to see who they are and the work or idea that stayed with me. Drag the timeline to move through history, or switch to “All eras” to see everyone at once.

Portraits & paintings via Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons (CC BY-SA), and the Art Institute of Chicago. Base map: Natural Earth via world-atlas. Built with D3.js and Claude Code.
