Hello, I hope soemone can clarify things for me. I'm getting rather confused so would welcome any commnets to my query.
I'm clearing rights for a project at present. We would like to reproduce photos of old paintings such as the Mono Lisa and the The Last Supper. Both paintings are by Leonardo Da Vinci. These should both be out of copyright but can be found in gallaries around the world.
My question is, if these are out of copyright, would I still need to obtain permission from the gallery to use the photo of the paintings?
I would be grateful for any comments. Thanks.
