Pictures and other works of art of the Renaissance were included under Article 2, while in Article 3 the prohibition was made to apply absolutely to those in high places as well as low, to foreigners as well as native Romans. Article 4 laid down the penalties for infringement, which could involve five years at the galleys. By Articles 5 and 6 antique objects could change hands through sale or be moved within the limits of Rome, or, on leave given, within the limits of the Papal dominions, while... the works of living artists were to be subject to no restrictions. Articles 7, 8 and 9, recalling similar rescripts of the Popes of the fifteenth century, prohibited injury to any ancient monument or work of art either within or without the city, or the filching of any object of the kind from the churches ; while by Article 10 the churches were protected in that no picture was to be moved out of or in them nor alienated, nor even repaired or copied without the express leave of the authorities, that is the Inspector General of the Fine Arts, the Commissary of Antiquities, or their representative.
