The Uffizi museum in Florence said Monday, Oct. 10, it was suing French fashion house Jean-Paul Gaultier for “unauthorized use” of Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus, its Italian Renaissance masterpiece.

Gaultier used the painting “without permission” and failed to pay rights, the Uffizi Galleries said, adding that it would seek damages.The museum demanded Gaultier take the items off the market, or sort out a financial accord. The Uffizi is one of the world’s great museums, housing works from some of the greatest painters of the Renaissance, from Botticelli to Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, Caravaggio, and Titian., both of which the Uffizi owns.
Some museums around the world, including the Art Institute of Chicago, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum, have released many of their works into the public domain, meaning they are no longer subject to copyright.
