Need Recommendations for an enhanced Image Gallery web part

Background: Our art person had a image gallery that was implemented in Flash that plugged into on-prem SharePoint pretty well because that would accept HTML files and just render them. The image ...

Hi Timothy (TimLB) , I don't think you need to look at any 3rd party solution and there isn't a web part that will do what you want unless you use SPFx (which is not allowed for use at our company and might not be at yours). But there is JSON list view formatting which will do the job nicely and one example I did is shown below.

For an example have a look at https://github.com/pnp/sp-dev-list-formatting/tree/master/view-samples/tile-layout-example-with-image and a list of examples is at https://github.com/pnp/sp-dev-list-formatting/tree/master/view-samples

Thanks for the suggestions! I forget that the PnP has more than just PowerShell scripts in it. I appreciate the suggestions and will do my best to start exploring the PnP space for ideas when I encounter things like this in the future.

I think for this - the JSON list view formatting will be the quickest to implement this. Similar to the screen in RobElliott 's post, I can set a thumbnail image with the details of the Artist and Description off to the side and include a link to view a larger image of the piece of art.

If the gallery owners are not satisfied with that... well, that solution will float me until I could use/modify the PnP image gallery web parts or I could create a PowerApp for the gallery. I found this playlist showing how to implement something that would work for this as well.
