The copyright on the Mona Lisa has expired is why.

If I as a artist produce a work, I have a copyright on said work which extends to reproductions, even photos or rendering of said work in different media. So technically I can say "Don't post this online", and no one is allowed to and I can go after sites that do.

Incorrect. Once you take the picture you own that image. No one can tell you what to do with it. It's how paparazzi get paid. A picture is not a reproduction.
