Image Use
The use of non-Leiden Collection images as part of the Leiden Collection catalogue adheres to the Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for the Visual Arts (College Art Association, February 2014). Efforts have been made to obtain images and permission from the owners / rights holders of these images, and they are used to support academic arguments about related works of art in the Leiden Collection. The Leiden Collection catalogue is for educational use and is available free-of-charge to anyone.
