12. Wikipedia: Copyright of 2d Art •  “If the original artwork remains in copyright a license from the artist is nearly always needed. –  Mere physical ownership of an original artwork such as a painting does not confer ownership of the copyright: that remains with the artist. –  There are a few rare situations where the artist's license may not be needed: •  Certain images permanently located in a public place, in some countries •  Graffiti: –  If the original artwork is old enough to be in the public domain it is OK to upload a scan or a photocopy (from any source) or a photograph you have taken yourself. A faithful photographic copy of a public domain 2D artwork such as a painting may always be uploaded to Commons, even if the photograph was taken by somebody else and even if no photographer's licence has been provided: see Commons: When to use the PD-Art tag” From https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/ Commons:Copyright_rules_by_subject_matter#2D_art_.28paintings_etc..29
