Shooting a painting with an on-camera flash unit pointed dead on is not exactly an ideal situation. However if you do need to shoot something with a flash try shooting it at an angle to reduce the glare.

The only time the flash ruins a painting is when the painting is behind glass , the reflection of the flash against the glass will give you a big white spot , and also if the painting has been coated with gloss finish, the reflection of the high spots of the paint will give small spot flashes , so check first for glass front and gloss over lay .

Depends how often you 'flash' the painting. One or two won't harm it, but continual flashes will This is why most museums will not allow flash photography. If all the punters started flashing away, not only paintings but things like fabrics will be affected. The older things are, the more affected they are by light. Again, many museums, you will notice, keep blinds down on windows at all times. If you mount a photograph in a frame and put it on your wall in sunlight, you will see that it soon starts to fade.

don't use a flash take a timed exposure or use umbrellas with the flash to deflect the glare.
