There is a difference between using an image of Charlton Heston to
illustrate The Ten Commandments (1956 film)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ten_Commandments_%281956_film%29

and Moses

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses

You say it all when you say "works of art"

Additionally, no one riots in the streets when you illustrate the article
on Moses with all sorts of made up images.
