- If I remember well, this was claimed as PD-Art because it is essentially a flat surface, hence the lack of creativity in the photography. Seems quite similar to this rule from Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag: "Photograph of an old stained glass window or tapestry found on the Internet or in a book: OK. Although many materials such as stained glass and fabric possess some three-dimensional texture, at ordinary viewing distances this texture is essentially invisible. As long as the surface is not noticeably curved or tattered/broken, and the original work is old enough to have entered the public domain, it is considered a faithful reproduction of the original with no original contribution." If this is stretching it too much, please delete. पाटलिपुत्र (talk) 20:31, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
Weak keep. This is borderline, but I'd be inclined to consider this a faithful reproduction within the limits of the work. The plate is certainly a three-dimensional object, but the photograph is taken from a straight-on angle and lit to optimize the visibility of the painting, rather than the structure of the plate. There's essentially no creative element in the photograph. Omphalographer (talk) 22:28, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
- It's as close to a flat reproduction as possible, but some three-dimensionality seems visible. I'll be interested to see how the closing admin rules. I think a strict reading of the rules for the PD-Art tag would exclude this. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:42, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
