"A court in Luxembourg has ruled in favor of U.S. photographer Jingna Zhang who accused painter Jeff Dieschburg of making an exact copy of her photograph. The ruling overturns a previous decision in 2022 that favored Dieschburg."

Love the painter's excuse of needing reference materials.  A fair excuse if you need to draw a basic outline but that painting a 99% photo realistic exact copy.
