My brain is mush. I need to secure permissions for two famous C19 paintings to appear in my book. My recollection is there’s a database (or two, or…?) where you can get images of many C19 paintings for free or a small fee. Any tips? With thx from a person who deals mostly in words.
Feb 3, 2026 14:50V&A has good online resources & is generous with permissions for academic publications. Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery also. For more general browsing, perhaps ArtUK or Europeana? (Though former especially just sends you to gallery that owns it.)
