An API is not a painting. It is a set of facts.

It is true an API is not a painting, but this is not a claim I made. The API specified in these legal matters is work product created on behalf of a legal entity who has a claim to its copyright that is legally filed and maintained. Both Google and Oracle agree on that fact according to the document I linked. If you still disagree, take it up with those parties.

Seems more like the photographer saw the painting, found the composition pleasing, then recreated that composition in real life for a photo.
