MusicBrainz doesn’t currently display artist images, as far as I’m aware. There’s some more info at [How to get artist image, bio?](https://community.metabrainz.org/t/how-to-get-artist-image-bio/441351). The 2020-11-15 start date on the “person” artist that you added probably isn’t correct (unless it’s really describing a person who was born just 3.5 years ago!). Start dates for people should contain when they were born. If this is more of a project, you can use the “group” type and then set the start date to the date when the project was started. ---

Ok thanks for your answer. I’ve changed the status artist for groupe, it’s better 😉 But for the picture i’m still lost. Nothing come in plex or Jellyfin but picture looks like linked between Musicbrainz and Commons wiki. One example on Jellyfin : ![image](https://community.metabrainz.org/uploads/default/original/3X/6/4/64a2f8166d1f905989fe23d39facc1a6b438094d.jpeg) The artist have an Artist picture and a Font picture… Can’t understand what’s the good process to have that automation with my artist ---

The question is where Plex and Jellyfish get their artist pictures from. I use neither of those tools, but [https://www.reddit.com/r/PleX/comments/t3expv/where\_does\_plex\_get\_artist\_images\_from/](https://www.reddit.com/r/PleX/comments/t3expv/where_does_plex_get_artist_images_from/) indicates Plex might use allmusic for both bio and picture. Jellyfin uses metadata providers. There is a MusicBrainz plugin, but a cursory look at the [plugin source code](https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/tree/master/MediaBrowser.Providers/Plugins/MusicBrainz) indicates it does not support fetching artist images from MB. You could open a feature request with Jellyfin, asking for support for artist images from MB. You might also want to try a different plugin. E.g. there is a plugin for TheAudioDB, which seems to implemeny an artist image provider. ---

Ok, makes sens, Thanks a lot for your response. But one more question, why for my artist musicbrainz don’t fetch artist image from MB but for other artists it is ok ? like dre in my example ? ---

I think [Fanart.tv](http://Fanart.tv) is one of the sources Jellyfin uses (especially for the logo), among others, I believe ---

I don’t think this image got fetched from MB. MB has this one linked: [File:Dr. Dre in 2011.jpg - Wikimedia Commons](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dr._Dre_in_2011.jpg) Rather the image seems to be from TheAudioDB at [Dr. Dre | TheAudioDB.com](https://www.theaudiodb.com/artist/111430-Dr.-Dre) ---
