Not a photo of any particular 2D work in the chapel, but a photo of the 3D chapel as a whole. Hence, it is copyrighted. --rtc 22:51, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This and the accompanying photo of the Sistine Chapel from the opposite direction give a total picture of what is a remarkable series of 2D works. While on one hand, yes, it is a 3D pic, it is also, and very importantly, a depiction of the world's most significant scheme of 2D pics. Despite the fact that the link doesn't seem to show up, this picture is in use on the wikipedia page "Sistine Chapel". --Mandy 08:37, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
A series of 2D works, though, when situated on multiple interior walls of a 3D structure, are necessarily a 3D work, such that (the taking of) an image of such series and is, per rtc, copyrightable (cf., many of the images in Category:Sistine Chapel, including Image:Michelangelo - Fresco of the Last Judgement.jpg, an image of a single [flat, i.e., 2D] wall of the Sistine Chapel, presently nominated for deletion but likely to kept in view of its being necessarily a slavish reproduction in the production of which a photographer would not make any creative elections).
