The second URI is apparently only available since the YAGO dataset 
contains decoded links to DBpedia URIs. Therefore there are only those 
YAGO types visible.

The artist property value is only a literal since the infobox for 
paintings allows users to enter only the artist names and converts them 
(the whole string) to links.

We don't map list elements to our ontology. Also I don't think that from 
the category itself we could conclude much for the contained list 
elements. So unfortunately part of this page's text is interpreted as an 
abstract.
