There are many ways to find the artist of a painting, but the most common and reliable method is to look for the artist’s signature on the painting. If the artist’s signature is not visible, you can also check the back of the painting for a label or stamp that might identify the artist. If you still can’t find the artist’s name, you can try searching for the painting’s title online, or contacting the gallery or museum where the painting is on display.
