I don't really know. However, I think to use a painting situated in a museum you will need to get permission from the museum. At least that is the situation in Germany. If you want to put something on a CD cover it usually costs about 100 Eur as far as I know. I am not sure what the legal basis is for this.

What is the copyright situation with etchings and drawings that are over 80 years old.
I am thinking of such pictures as the J.S. Bach ones that appear in so many editions.
Is it permissible to scan the cover of a book and make some changes to the image, and then use it in your own publication?
If this is not allowable, where can someone get images of early painting, etching etc, of the great composers?
