I'm interested in looking up some of the artworks found on Magic: The Gathering cards. Is there a website where card art is featured, preferably in higher definition than on the various card search engines? I am highly interested in artworks from the Coldsnap expansion, where you seem to find little in terms of artworks.

Wizards releases some of the card arts in larger size in their wallpaper gallery, however I didn't see any Coldsnap art in there.
Other than that I would suggest seeing if the artist for the card you are looking for has their own website, since the artists do retain some right to their artwork. For example John Avon and Steve Arglye are both artists for Magic that have some of the artwork they've done at higher resolutions.

I already tried scouring the artist's websites. Problem is: a lot of classic Magic artists don't publish a lot of their works online (like Brian Snoddy, for example). This is why I am looking for an extensive collection. But thanks for mentioning the wallpaper gallery, did not know about that, and the pictures are high-res. Commented Dec 12, 2016 at 15:32

@JosephDoob it looks like Brian has a website, it doesn't look like there is any Magic art on there, but it does have a Contact Form where you could probably ask him.– diegoCommented Dec 12, 2016 at 15:35
Doing a google search brings up http://www.artofmtg.com and it does look like they have a Coldsnap gallery. It doesn't tend to have all card images, but it does have a good number.

I can see only 2 Coldsnap artworks there, and older sets are almost non-represented. Still, a good ressource for newer sets. Commented Dec 12, 2016 at 15:35
