Who has the picture?

Google offers an image search which can be quite helpful for generic pictures. However, if you want depth to the information about a piece of art, look to GALILEO.

In particular, select Grove Art Online:
"Grove Art Online provides web access to the entire text of The Dictionary of Art, ed. Jane Turner (1996, 34 vols.) and The Oxford Companion to Western Art, ed. Hugh Brigstocke (2001). We offer ongoing additions of new and updated articles, over 1,500 thumbnail art images and line drawings displayed in the text of articles, extensive image links, and sophisticated search and navigation tools."
