Citing Images

Include as much information as is available. If an artist's name is not available (e.g. for works from classical periods), the citation starts with the title of the work. 

 

Chicago Style (17th edition, Notes & Bibliography) basic format for bibliography:

Artist’s Last Name, First Name. Title of work. Date of creation or completion. Medium. Location of the work.

 

Example:

Image of Crowell House.

Smith and Williams. Crowell House. 1955. Pasadena, California. Photograph by Julius Shulman. Accessed June 12, 2020. http://www.artstor.org.

In this example:

  • "Smith and Williams" is the name of the architectural firm.
  • The name of the photographer should be included if available.
  • Access dates are not required in the 17th edition of Chicago Manual of Style (see section 14.12: Access dates), but your instructor may require that you include the date that you accessed an online resource.
  • When citing a resource from a library database, the name of the database or domain URL (http://www.artstor.org) may be used instead of the direct URL to that resource. See section 14.11 of the Chicago Manual of Style for more information.
