That's what I said in one of my comments above. I can't go asking Da Vinci for MonaLisa. 😂

I'm not sure but I think there's some kind of a law that keeps the work of artists or other creators under protection for upto 70 years post demise, after that the owner-ship is passed on to the heir or to the state and they decide how to use it.

@stef1 might help here as I'm new to this and still learning how it all works.
