Is there a copyright on van Gogh's 'Starry Night?
No, the painting is not copyright. The longest duration available is 70 years after the death of the creator. Vincent van Gogh died in 1890, meaning the last copyright expired in 1960. Copies and photographs of the painting created by others of his works could still be covered by copyright, which means you are not free to use someone else's image. And exact copies can be considered as attempts at fraud or forgery.
