Hi guys
I was wondering if anyone knows if its allowed to use public domain paintings, for lets say commercial use? And if so any links for this stuff?
Also if it is allowed should you credit the artist?

Many "owners" waive restrictions for immensely recognizable images - like the "Mona Lisa." Case-by-case basis if I'm not mistaken though. Best to inquire directly.

Waterhouse: Can people do that, even after the works have entered public domain? I've never heard of that class of intellectual property, though I would not at all be surprised to find it true.
