Object history

Roundel by Alessandro Varotari, called Padovanino, commissioned in 1635 by the Procurators of Saint Mark de supra for the ceiling of the Reading Room of the Biblioteca Marciana in substitution of the damaged roundel by Giambattista Zelotti.^[1] All of the roundels (21) were removed by the Austrians at the end of the second period of Austrian occupation (1815–1866) and transported to Vienna. The roundels were restituted as per the Treaty of Vienna of 3 October 1866 between Italy and Austria.

Notes

↑ The deliberation of the procurators de supra (Archives, PS, Serie Chiesa, Decreti e terminazioni, v. 35, c. 85, 1634, 12 aprile) states the intention to copy two damaged roundels. The originals were by Giulio Licinio and Giambattista Zelotti for which commissions were given to Bernardo Strozzi and Padovanino respectively. Padovanino received higher payment due to the greater number of figures involved (see Archives, PS, Serie Chiesa, Decreti e terminazioni, v. 35, c. 85, 1635, 26 November).

Licensing

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:

	This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer. You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States. Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).
	This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

Public domain works must be out of copyright in both the United States and in the source country of the work in order to be hosted on the Commons. If the work is not a U.S. work, the file must have an additional copyright tag indicating the copyright status in the source country.
Note: This tag should not be used for sound recordings.
