<figure> cannot be used like this:

<table>
   <thead>
     <tr>
       <th>Painting</th>
       <th>Title</th>
       <th>Author</th>
     </tr>
   </thead>
   <tbody>
     <tr>
       <td><img id="img1" src="..."></td>
       <td><label for="img1" type="title">Mona Lisa</label></td>
       <td>Leonardo da Vinci</td>
     </tr>
     ...
   </tbody>
</table>
