Hi,

So −this is awkward− but I have a question not about OGDF itself, but regarding the background image used for the website at https://ogdf.uos.de (image of a forest).

I find it wonderful and would like to know:

whether it is licensed
where does it come from / who made it
are there larger definitions of it available somewhere

I ask because I'd like to use it for personal use (decorative purpose) if possible.

Thanks,

Jean-Marie.

Hi,

it is actually a painting by Isaac Whitehead (https://artsandculture.google.com/asset/in-the-sassafras-valley-victoria-isaac-whitehead/gQHpZ_R4-bwLRg?hl=en). I guess for personal use just printing it yourself if you find a high resolution version (like the one on wikipedia https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/35/Isaac_Whitehead_-_In_the_Sassafras_Valley%2C_Victoria_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg) would be no problem. Probably you'll also find art prints of it online as well...

Cheers

Thanks for the information! I suspected it could be a famous painting but I failed to find it with Google image search. It's a nice choice for the website.
