I love to browse the website of the Library of Congress, it has a lot of expressive historical photographs and you can download the high-res scans of the original plates. Of course, I have to process the images in an editor a bit, but I love the process. Generally I like "crafting" my desktop backgrounds myself. I also like to have photos I've taken as my background.

Ya, the Library of Congress collection is great, it’s practically the only place I’ve been able to find images of art that is at least 3840 pixels wide that doesn’t need to be upscaled for 4K monitors. Does anyone know any other sources of high resolution images of classic art? All of the photos on museum sites like the Louvre and the Rijksmuseum are really low quality.
