If it's not used on Welsh Wikipedia, maybe the best thing would be to make a Wikidata-based one - just add the blank template to people's articles, and watch it automagically fill with vaules from Wikidata. The last thing the Wikiverse needs is to add the occasional VIAF entry on Welsh Wikipedia

Getting the data in place and on Wikidata was a massive job, but all of that is still in place. If we don't update the dataset, or declare The Community (TM) to be in charge of updating the data on Wikidata, we can still use the tools from 2014. Official tool: https://tools.wmflabs.org/wlmuk/

Hi Andy, if each of these artworks had a Wikidata item, lists could be generated as a by-product, in addition to all the possible queries etc. Putting data into templates to show on Wikipedia pages is neither vegetable, animal, or mineral. The worst solution to store this data, IMHO, in 2015.
