Release 22 Mar 2022:
This program crawls through the high resolution images from the public domain website artvee.com and downloads them to the path you specify. The images are stored under a subdirectory for each category from the Artvee categories. This program works as of this date, but of course, websites change and beautifulSoup may need some tweaks to its find inputs if the website changes.
