How to protect your online art
COPYRIGHT ART
Securing the rights to use a picture of a painting - do a search for ARS (Artists Rights Society), CISAC, and others. If you can determine where image is, physically (a museum?) you could contact their rights & permissions department - often, when an image is reproduced, one of the stipulations is to identify the owner of the work. If you've got an art museum near you, give them a call and ask how to contact these groups. The registrar's office should know.
