I can't believe I am actually reading this thread, much less responding!

Poor example.  The Mona Lisa is displayed in a museum with a 'no photo'
policy.  It is against the law to even take the photo without permission.
Your copyright claim would be dismissed as bogus in court.  To get
permission to take the photo, you need to sign over your potential
copyright to the museum.  It retains the copyright, not you.  An attempt
to display the photo in a published form is a copyright violation.

Sorry.
