Is the work of Sandro Botticelli copyrighted?

Sandro Botticelli's works are in the public domain, as he died in 1510, long before modern copyright laws were established. This means that his paintings, such as "The Birth of Venus" and "Primavera," can be freely reproduced and used without permission. However, modern adaptations or reproductions of his work may still be subject to copyright if they involve original creative elements.
