In order to replicate or to have a fair comparison to our ICIP2016 paper, we created a "new" Wikiart dataset that can be downloaded through the following link:
(http://www.cs-chan.com/source/ICIP2017/wikiart.zip) (Size = 25.4Gb). Each folder contains information of the dataset used for each tasks (Style, Artist, and Genre classification).
In each folder:
1. {TASK}_class.txt lists the classes and the respective index
2. {TASK}_train.csv lists the images used in the task for training.
3. {TASK}_val.csv lists the images used in the task for validation.

and the csv file can be downloaded through (http://www.cs-chan.com/source/ICIP2017/wikiart_csv.zip). In the csv files, each row in the list contains (path/to/image.jpg, class_index)

Note:
1. The WikiArt dataset can be used only for non-commercial research purpose.
2. The images in the WikiArt dataset were obtained from WikiArt.org. The authors are not responsible for the content nor the meaning of these images.
