Set the image as background and render the object would be first step. 

Otherwise please be more precise.  Image is a background or an environment and the object would have shadows?

If it is an environment background and you need shadows you can use a shadow catcher prop with your 3D interpretation of the relevant part of the background. Simple shapes normally suffice as long as they have the right angle and distance from the object. There is a wacro for setting the shadow catcher shader. Important note: Firefly only.

You must juggle illumination & shadows, plus perspective and 'vanishing point'...

There's too many pretty 'scenes' over on DA where a character has been put onto rather than into a background pic, and just about everything looks wrong.
Still, gotta start some-where...

Perhaps you could take a trick from theatre, dissect that background into elements at different distances, apply those to 'flats' for 2 ½ D ?
