  • You're going to hate me for this... oppose this version. The frame of the diptych is 3D, and thus PD-Art does not apply. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:06, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Well, I can't say I didn't saw that comming, Schro... there is a slight mess with the 3D-s. 17:05, 29 January 2015 (UTC) Hafspajen (talk)
  • ~sigh~ never mind, and if a 600-year-old picture is still covered by copyright, then it proves I'll never get my head around it, despite working in a related field! Would two crops stitched together work, or would that just look too odd? - SchroCat (talk) 17:17, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Given the above, it's probably best to withdraw this one - SchroCat (talk) 22:04, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
