From the spec for [ID3v2](https://id3.org/ID3v2Easy)  
"Since each frame can be 16MB and the entire tag can be 256MB you'll probably never again be in the same situation as when you tried to write a useful comment in the old ID3 being limited to 30 characters."

Since the artwork is one frame of the tag, it is subject to the 16MB limit.
