This is probably a Hub Pages 101 question but for someone that is very new to this whole arena, I've got to ask. If you want to use a photo (image) that is of a painting, do you attribute to the person that took the photo of the painting or the person that painted the painting or both?
I would do both. The painting because it is what the photo is about, but also the photographer, as a thanks for taking the photo. Be sure you use images you have permission to use.
Here's what HubPages says about images:

I agree with MT. I use both the artist name (usually in the photo caption, like name of painting by artist) and the author of the image. Just make cure the image is Public Domain or Creative Commons.
I think this is a great question, and I am glad people ask questions like this. It helps all to learn and fine tune what we know, etc.
If I use pictures from Wikimedia Commons, they make it easy to attribute by using the links on the page, and you can quickly see if it is within the time limit of years, for example. I often see the painting's date, and if its oil on panel, or whatever. Once you get used to using different sites and how they allow you to use the images, it becomes easier and easier I think.
You don't use either if the image is within copyright.
How old is the image and has the artist died more than 70 years ago?
I find it easiest to use Wikimedia Commons Images - although you do need to read what it says

I see Hubs where beautiful photos are used and are from Pinterest. The photos are usually credited as being from Pins. Are we allowed to use those photos??

In a recent HubPages weekly email, it was discussing the fact that many use photos and do not provide a source. I was thinking that this may easily be addressed by HP by requiring a source in the source field inside the photo capsule, whether it is "self" or the Freedigitalphotos,...

Hi--I want to reorganize my photos in my HubPages albums and since only a few of the albums pop up when I want to use them, I'd like to delete some and rename others. Unfortunately, I can't find any information on how to do that. Does anyone have some help? I end up uploading the...

One of my big problem is, I do basically nothing with pictures and videos. Because I'm not really sure where I can get them. I am more or less talking about pictures, but if their is some hidden secret with videos aside from youtube, that would be great! Also I am sure it is key to give credit?...

When our hubs were once chosen, we had a way to see what was supposed to be fixed before it appeared on a niche site. Now I don't see anything like that. It could be me, but there was a way to see what they wanted added or deleted.It's very frustrating. Yesterday I was told my hub on Zeus, the...
