So, I ask that when we copy images from galleries/museums/libraries, or even when we take photos of the originals ourselves, we include the comprehensive attribution that the gallery/museum itself includes. I would suggest that this should be the Commons policy when dealing with art.
I'd say this is a good idea, because it supplies readers and reusers with useful, important and *educational* information about the image, right where they're looking at it.
Quite apart from it being visibly the decent thing to do, and encouraging more galleries to let their collections loose.
