OriginalSpring Scattering Stars is a 1927 allegorical painting by American artist Edwin Blashfield. It depicts a nude female personification of spring on a wet moon scattering stars throughout the sky. The painting was sold by the Heritage Auctions to a private collection.
Reason
One of the largely forgotten paintings, but a good digitization had been made before it was auctioned. Discovered by chance when I googled for other nude stuff.

  • Question - What have you done to find whether or not the copyright was renewed? — Chris Woodrich (talk) 09:18, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • No mention of Edwin Blashfield or Spring Scattering Stars on the US Copyright Office website. Brandmeistertalk 10:00, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • Problem with that is that this would have had to be renewed in about 1955/56, and those records aren't yet on the Copyright.gov website. You'd have to search these books. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 15:04, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        • The search there doesn't show the painting or the artist either, so the copyright almost certainly wasn't renewed. Brandmeistertalk 15:17, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support - I didn't find any renewals either. Good find. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 02:52, 15 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support – Good scan of a fascinating painting; although the article for the painting itself is a stub, it is backed up with a reasonable article on the artist providing sufficient EV. SagaciousPhil - Chat 09:41, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
