Please parse https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Art_Photo too. Same issue here.
While CommonsMetadata does parse these templates, it only returns data from the first infobox-like template on the page. This is mostly a limitation of the current API output format (bug 57259 has more details).
Merged into T69860 which will sort of solve the issue, by collecting author names from all templates. A proper solution will have to wait for CommonsData.
