Historical portrait of Giorgio Vasari

Portrait of Giorgio Vasari

Copied from the original Museum Editorial design study. The preserved source record identifies a portrait attributed to Jacopo Zucchi, at the Uffizi Gallery, via Web Gallery of Art / Wikimedia Commons. Its filename and older title call it a self-portrait. We preserve that conflict and use “historical portrait,” not “self-portrait,” in the mockup.

The recorded Commons page marks the underlying work PD-old-100-expired and the reproduction PD-Art. This is a source assessment, not legal clearance or museum endorsement; the source notes jurisdiction-specific reuse considerations. The design crops and desaturates the reproduction without generating or altering the face.
