--Previous Message-- : --Previous Message-- : The : administrator of this board does not like : pictures being posted because of copywright : concerns. : : In Europe, the copyright on a painting is : the life of the artist plus 70 years. The : painting of Alessandro de’ Medici was by : Girolamo Macchietti, who died in 1592. : Therefore the copyright has expired and the : image is in the public domain. True, but the digital reproduction of the painting in question *could* be copyrighted. In general, I will always delete a message if I am in doubt about the copyright. I have of course nothing against posting images, but if no information about the copyright is added, I will take action. DTH
