Solution

  • Actually there are 2 ways to do so directly from your theme's page.tpl.php (without the need to create a template preprocess function):

    1- Using <img> tag:

    global $base_path;
print "<img src='" . $base_path . path_to_theme() . "/img/img5.jpg' width='240' height='300' />";

    2- Using Drupal's theme():

    print theme("image", array(
    'path'  => path_to_theme() . "'/img/img5.jpg",
    'width' => "240",
    'height' => "300",
));
