Query on copyright of older work

Hello! I just had a quick question on the File:Sale bread MAN Napoli Inv9071 n01.jpg. Per the metadata, the attribution is CCA, but the file is not tagged as such (only having a PD for the work itself). I noticed your standard tag appears to be CCA 3.0; may I update the tag to this? Thank you! Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 16:43, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi, I claim no copyright over my own photographs of 2D artworks, according to COM:PD-Art. I see the new recommendation is to use {{Licensed-PD-Art}} in this case, so I've updated the description. Jastrow (Λέγετε) 18:18, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

Alberta Santuccio

Hello! Sorry to bother you; regarding this photo you took back in 2015, are you sure that is indeed Alberta Santuccio? My cousin texted me saying that this picture should be en:Giulia Rizzi instead, and she's not the only one having a doubt. Is there a way to check it? Syrio posso aiutare? 21:11, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

@Syrio: Hi, I'm afraid I don't have the original files any more, so no way to check on my part. I try of course to identify the athletes correctly, but I may have made a mistake. Would it be possible to ask on the Italian Wikipedia? Jastrow (Λέγετε) 06:50, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

Yes, of course, I've asked you first since you're the author! Thanks anyway, I'll let you know if something pops up. -- Syrio posso aiutare? 07:15, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

Sorry, I forgot to update you but you probably have already seen that I've moved the files, after more users on it.wiki confirmed the mix-up. Bye, -- Syrio posso aiutare? 20:53, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the renaming. My deepest apologies to both fencers! Jastrow (Λέγετε) 06:01, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

File:Sketch FamGILL Louvre2024-09.jpg

Hi Marie-Lan. I've been a admirer of your work for 20 years, since I began using your photos of vases and other antiquities in European museum for teaching back in the mid-2000s. You were one of the first contributors to use the Commons to document museum collections in a systematic way, with proper information (names of vase painters, inventory numbers, etc.) in the descriptions, and it made a huge difference to me. In those days it was hard to find high quality teaching images online, especially since so many contributors to Flickr and the Commons used vague descriptions like "Greek vase", which made it impossible to search for specific artists or subjects. When I retired from teaching and began to upload my own photos to the Commons, you were one of my principal models. So thank you for that.

Your recent upload of File:Sketch FamGILL Louvre2024-09.jpg caught my eye, since I have an interest in Gilliéron and in modern casts of ancient sculpture. (Last year I uploaded a number of photos of Gilliéron's painted plaster casts of Acropolis korai, originally made for the Metropolitan Museum in New York, and now in the Museum für Abgüsse Klassischer Bildwerke in Munich.) Gilliéron's sketches reminded me immediately of a bronze statuette in the National Museum of Athens: see File:Athens NAM AIG2548 Miniature bronze group of wrestlers 02.jpg, in which the two figures are in exactly the same positions. Since the sketches were clearly made from a different version of the group (the standing figure is clean shaven rather than bearded), I wanted to find out more about it. So I looked at the bibliographic notes that Gilliéron jotted above the sketches and tracked down the corresponding publications. It appears that the statuette in Saint-Germain-en-Laye is a 19th-century cast of a group found in Abbeville and first published in 1817: see File:Grivaud de la Vincelle, Recueil de monumens antiques (1817), vol II, pl XX.jpg. I have no idea where the original is now; the last mention I could find (Reinach in 1894) reported that it was in the private collection of a notary in Paris.

I have two questions for you: (1) Do you have the catalogue of the "Olympisme" exhibition at the Louvre, and if so, does it say anything more about the original statuette that lies behind both the cast in Saint-Germain and Gilliéron's sketches? (2) In order to help out future users who might have an interest in this piece, do you mind if I add my transcription of Gilliéron's notes, together with links to online versions of the corresponding publications, to the description page of your image? The three publications he cites are

• C. Clarac, Musée de sculpture antique et moderne, vol. 5 (Paris 1851), p. 33, no. 2014, pl. 802.
• S. Reinach, Antiquités nationales: Description raisonnée du Musée de Saint-Germain-en-Laye. Bronzes figurés de la Gaule romaine (Paris 1894), pp. 121–124, no. 124, and p. 312, no. 396.
• E. Babelon and J.-A. Blanchet, Catalogue des bronzes antiques de la Bibliothèque nationale (Paris 1895), pp. 574–575, no. 420.

Thanks, Choliamb (talk) 13:17, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

@Choliamb: First of all, thanks a lot for your kind words. The 19th-century cast from Saint-Germain was presented at the exhibition. I didn't photograph it because it isn't an original. I'm going back to the Louvre tomorow morning (Paris time), I will try to photograph everything from Gilliéron and the modern casts of ancient sculptures. I'm not sure whether I will buy the catalogue, because it's a bit on the hefty side, but I'll photograph at least the page about the Saint-Germain statuette.

Of course, feel free to add anything of interest to the file description of File:Sketch FamGILL Louvre2024-09.jpg. Jastrow (Λέγετε) 14:04, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, that's very generous of you. Feel free to email anything not suitable for uploading to the Commons (like the page from the catalogue) to my gmail address, which has the username choliambos (note the final two letters; different from my Commons username).
