Summary[edit]

Description
Deutsch: Wandgemälde von Gustav Heidenreich im Vaterländischen Saal des Neuen Museums Berlin. Vier Wassernixen lagern links am Seeufer. Die liegende Nixe im Vordergrund pflückt Zweige von herabhängenden Blätterranken. Daneben stützt sich eine zweite auf ihre Harfe. Die beiden Nixen im Hintergrund schauen versonnen über den See. Das mittlere Bildfeld zeigt einen Drachen im Greifengestalt mit Adlerkopf, Adlerschwingen und Löwenkörper. Fauchend und mit ausgebreiteten Flügeln wacht er über einen Schatz aus Helm, Schild, Schwert, Krone, Ringen und Münzen. Auf der rechten Seite kämpfen zwei Riesen mit einem Drachen. Sie versuchen, ihm Felsbrocken in das aufgerissene Maul zu werfen. (Museumstext)
English: Fresco by Gustav Heidenreich illustrating Norse mythology in the "Fatherland Hall" of the New Museum, Berlin. On the left, four water nixes loll at a lakeshore. The reclining nix in the foreground is picking branches from hanging leafy boughs. Beside her, a second nix is propped on her harp. The two nixes in the background gaze pensively across the lake. The central field shows a dragon in the shape of a griffon, with an eagle's head, eagle wings, and a lion's body. Hissing and with wings spread, he guards over a treasure comprising a helmet, a shield, a sword, a crown, rings, and coins. On the right side, two giants combat a dragon. They are trying to throw boulders into its open maw.

Licensing[edit]

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:
Public domain

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.

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).

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
