Image of the hand of God giving life to Adam from the Sistine Chapel ceiling, painted by Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni, March 6, 1475 – February 18, 1564, between 1508 and 1512, at the commission of Pope Julius II.
This image is a faithful reproduction of a two-dimensional work of art and thus not copyrightable in itself in the U.S. as per Bridgeman Art Library v. Corel Corp.; the same is also true in many other countries. The original two-dimensional work shown in this image is free content because: This image (or other media file) is in the public domain because its copyright has expired.
This applies to the United States, where Works published prior to 1978 were copyright protected for a maximum of 75 years. See Circular 1 "COPYRIGHT BASICS" PDF from the U.S. Copyright Office. Works published before 1923 are now in the public domain and also in countries that figure copyright from the date of death of the artist (post mortem auctoris) in this case Michelangelo, February 18, 1564 and that most commonly run for a period of 50 to 70 years from that date.
