Documentation
{{Artwork}} is an alternative to {{Information}} template used for the description of images of artworks, especially those residing in museums or galleries.
Faithful reproductions (without specific creative contribution from the photograph) of 2D art only require a license for the artwork, like {{PD-art}}. Copyrightable photos of 2D art and photos of 3D art (sculptures, structures, coins, gems, etc.) require a licence for the depicted artwork and a licence for the photograph itself. In such cases, {{Art Photo}} is recommended. See here for more information about copyright of the copied artwork.
