Mike: /_______________________From your message________________________\\ For example if you were to paint an oil painting of the 16th chaple … P.S If I'm wrong please correct me. __________________________________________________________________ Well, for starters that's the SISTINE CHAPEL! The chapel was named after one of those men in dresses, Pope Sixtus IV. If you are thinking of the ceilings by Michelangelo then consider that they were not oil paintings but frescoes (as were the paintings on the walls for that matter). Frescoes are painted with pigments mixed with water and usually applied to wet plaster. Well, you asked to be corrected. I'll let someone else comment on the legality of using a slightly altered scan of another's work of art.
