Summary edit

Licensing edit

The Bibliothèque nationale de France states the image is public domain, and do not identify an artist. The Getty attribution is uncertain, partial, and insufficient to actually identify a person. The logic for the more authorative source (the BnF)'s claim of public domain isn't made explicit, but given the lack of any certain attribution, the logic presumably works out to:

	This image (or other media file) is in the public domain because its copyright has expired and its author is anonymous. This applies to the European Union and those countries with a copyright term of 70 years after the work was made available to the public and the author never disclosed their identity. Important: Always mention where the image comes from, as far as possible, and make sure the author never claimed authorship.
	Note: In Germany and possibly other countries, certain anonymous works published before July 1, 1995 are copyrighted until 70 years after the death of the author. See Übergangsrecht. Please use this template only if the author never claimed authorship or their authorship never became public in any other way. If the work is anonymous or pseudonymous (e.g., published only under a corporate or organization's name), use this template for images published more than 70 years ago. For a work made available to the public in the United Kingdom, please use Template:PD-UK-unknown instead.

And, for America:

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.PD-1923Public domain in the United States//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Cavalleria_Rusticana_-_Alfio_and_Turiddu_embrace.jpg

This image is duplicated as en:File:Cavalleria Rusticana - Alfio and Turiddu embrace.jpg, since this is definitely out of copyright in America.

Notes edit

1. ↑ ^{a b} [https://www.gettyimages.ca/detail/illustration/oleograph-by-rauzzini-depicting-scenes-from-opera-stock-graphic/165556071 Getty, for example, states it is an 1891 Oleograph by Rauzzini. There is no evidence for this date or attribution given, however, and any other artwork or information about "Rauzzini" seems non-existant.
2. ↑ It's clearly in the same series as, for example, File:Il trovatore by Luigi Morgari.jpg, all others of which I can find are signed by him
