Hi! This is not really a question that fits this website: while it is about a (very important) book about the practical side of painting, the question whether it is in the public domain is one about law and copyright.

Do note that Victor *Mottez* lived in the 19th century, and his translation seems to stem from [1858](https://archive.org/details/traitedelapeintu00cenn), which means the work is over 160 years old. I'm not sure about French law, but works that old usually are in the public domain.
