OLD WOODWoodenit

Question about copyright of the photographs of the old painting of masterpiece ?

I want to make an oil painting reproduction website which will include a lot of old oil paintings photographs. My friend is an artist and he has a lot of photographs of these paintings. I want to use it. But I am worrying about the copyright of it.
There are a lot of websites about the old paintings and I find the photographs are almost the same. Who indeed has the copyright? or who has the authorization? I can’t believe that the site has the authorization of all these thousands of photographs.
My friend has been collecting these photographs for ten years or more. And he can’t remember clearly which come from where. Can I use them?

When it comes to very old paintings the copyright that would have existed of th painting by the painter has likely long since expired. However, if Joe Blow takes a picture of a painting then Joe Blow is the copyright owner of the picture he took… so unless your friend was the one that took those picture, the pictures he has are copyrighted by the photographer that took them.

Dutch Golden Age Painting $95.59 Dutch Golden Age painting is the painting of the Dutch Golden Age, a period in Dutch history generally spanning the 17th century, during and after the later part of the Eighty Years War (15681648) for Dutch independence. The new Dutch Republic was the most prosperous nation in Europe, and led European trade, science, and art. The northern Netherlandish provinces that made up the new state had traditionally been less important artistic centres than cities in Flanders in the south, and the upheavals and largescale transfers of population of the war, and the sharp break with the old monarchist and Catholic cultural traditions, meant that Dutch art needed to reinvent itself entirely, a task in which it was very largely successful. Although Dutch painting of the Golden Age comes in the general European period of Baroque painting, and often shows many of its characteristics, most lacks the idealization and love of splendour typical of much Baroque work, including that of neighbouring Flanders. Most work, including that for which the period is best known, reflects the traditions of detailed realism inherited from Early Netherlandish painting.

Painting St. Feoc by Radmall, Philip [Paperback] $27.83 Michael Urquhart is an artist obsessed with numbers and with counting. Traditionally a painter of nudes, he travels to a remote part of southwest England to paint three ancient burial mounds. He arrives at a secluded village comprising fourteen old and disfigured men, a Catholic priest, and the priests sister and her three daughters, all of whom have their own obsessions and their own stories of how they come to be there. Within this dour, unchanging community, evoked by its smells and its frugality and set against a bleak, stagnant landscape where the old men live out their dismal struggle with the earth, each character travels their own path of understanding and contrives a different interpretation of events, plying the depths of their various obsessions Michael Urquharts incessant counting, the old mens resounding faith in a redeeming afterlife, the Priests search for absolution from the incestuous sins of his past, and the private ruminations of the Priests sister and her daughters. When Michael Urquhart changes the subject of his painting for one of grander vision, the outcome of all their disparate beliefs and convictions rests in its design.
