Notes | These have traditionally been regarded as the only surviving fragments of Marcantonio's famous series of 'I Modi'. They are discussed by James Grantham Turner in 'Print Quarterly' December 2004, XXI, pp.369-79, who concludes that they come from a single 'replacement' set for Marcantonio's originals, re-engraved in the same direction perhaps by Agostino Veneziano. In this case no original engraving or fragment of one survives. Each fragment is further discussed by James Grantham Turner in 'Art and love in Renaissance Italy', Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 2008, cat.99, pp.200-202, | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Licensing[edit]
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. |
