We have compiled a dataset of 194 images for studying time of day perception in paintings. The images were sourced from the Materials in Painting (materialsinpaintings.tudelft.nl) and National Gallery (nationalgallery.org.uk/paintings) datasets and depict outdoor scenes under varying illumination conditions, ranging from dawn to night. The paintings included in the dataset span the 17th to 20th centuries. The dataset is divided into two groups, each used as stimuli for two online rating experiments. Group 1 comprises 104 images, while Group 2 contains 90 images with metadata indicating the depicted time of day. The metadata includes information about the artist, time period of creation, and other relevant information. All images are licensed under Creative Commons Zero (CC0) except for those from the National Gallery dataset, which are subject to Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial (CC BY-NC) 4.0. However, users can still access these images directly from the National Gallery dataset using the metadata provided. Our dataset is designed to facilitate research on time of day perception in paintings and improve our understanding of the factors that may influence this perception.File FormatExcel (.xlsx) and ZIP (.zip) filesContent OverviewExcel Sheets(A) List_of_paintings including metadata(A-1) List_of_paintings_for_Group 1.xlsxThis file contains the list of paintings in Group 1 with their corresponding file names and metadata.
