you are saying put the longdesc on the text rather than the image. i will be adding text saying that if you click the image it will take you to the longdesc and click the text link to take you to a larger version of the picture.
I'd posit that sighted users, when coming across a page of thumbnails, will still expect the thumbs to take them to the larger view, regardless of any text you put in anywhere else on the page.
If I had to add long description, I'd include it on the actual page that shows the larger version of the painting - either as part of the text on the right itself, or as a clearly marked link underneath the large image ("text description of this painting" or similar).
