Actually, this is probably one of the best ways to go on this. 
A tripod would be good, but may not be necessary.  If you have a
polorizing filter for the lens, that would help saturate the
colors a bit better and remove most sunlight reflections in the
varnish.  Otherwise, keep the camera directly squared to the
painting, make sure both are as parallel as possible and bracket
(take an exposure 2/3 and -2/3) around the indicated exposure.
