Grammar
Do I need to place a comma after the name of the piece of art? The visitor tried to steal "School of Athens" by Raphael Sanzio.
If so, would you mind explaining why???
Should it be inside or outside of the quotation marks? What if only the last name of the artist is used?
I recently became a gallery attendant, and need to know how to do this in order to fill out the opening/closing sheet.
Thank you!

You don't need a comma there. I think it's more natural to write:
A visitor tried to steal Raphael Sanzio's School of Athens. You can omit the 'Sanzio'; the artist is generally known in English as just 'Raphael'.

Anonymous The visitor tried to steal "School of Athens" by Raphael (Sanzio).Perfectly understandable. I'd do it myself if I could get away with it. An absolutely stunning piece of work.
(Your sentence is fine as it stands. 'Sanzio' is optional.)
