IMAGE USE CONTACTS


Start Here First:

The Bridgeman Art Library is the image clearing house for many museums, galleries and private collections. Even museums that have their own image library links may have images in the Bridgeman Library, so check there first. For example, the Holbein painting of Anne of Cleves owned by the Louvre can also be licensed through Bridgeman.
