I have a question. I hope someone will answer me Smile

I see a lot of great products on Zazzle with fine art and famous painting from famous painters such as Vincent Van Gogh, Da Vinci etc. There are a lot of famous painting and art available in the zazzle marketplace.

I am just wondering if these are official stores from agencies that keep the copyright for these images or if these are the stores from Zazzle members?

Can I create products with famous painting? Are these images in the public domain? Where can I find them?


Thank you for your answers and help. Smile

Some old fine art paintings are in the public domain, some not. You need to research each artist. Anything large enough to use here will most likely not be free. I don't like telling people where to find images, because you're my competition.

Copyright is tricky. It's hard to advise on it or blindly take someone else's advice. It takes research to determine for yourself what the liability is and how it applies to the images, sources, countries, and yourself. I've done tons of research for what I use. I've also got books on copyright law. It is important to be thorough and to keep up on the latest legal cases and rulings because it is a fluctuating issue. There's not a lot on the zazzle forums about it, but you can begin to learn about the complexities on the internet. It's a learning curve and takes that part of your brain that understands legal language and the current issues. If you're serious, then its worth the time.

Good luck and I hope this helps.
