The Art Institute of Chicago’s website now offers an online gallery of downloadable art… and a ton of it is easily recognizable.

- The Bedroom, Vincent van Gogh

Copyright
Much of the work is in the public domain, so you’re completely free to print, edit, or do anything you like, even for commercial purposes. That said, not all of it has crossed the public domain threshold, so check the copyright notice on each work of art.
To make things easier, I applied the “Public Domain” search filter to this link.
Or you can view the full gallery; it is lovely.
