"Cranach: l'altro rinascimento (2010), kat. 12, omt. p. 164 og 16, ill. p. 166-167" has been copied from here to Melancholia (painting). What do kat. and omt. mean? I know og = and, I assume ill.=illustration. TSventon (talk) 19:29, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The painting was shown at an exhibition in the Galleria Borghese in 2010 that had the name "Cranach: l'altro Rinascimento".[1] So I assume that "kat." abbreviates "katalog", referring to the catalogue of that exhibition by the same name.[2] Then, presumably, "omt." stands for "omtalt", meaning "mentioned (on)". I guess "12" is the number of the painting in the catalogue.  --Lambiam 21:07, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, that was more or less what I thought. TSventon (talk) 21:23, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
