⚠️ The trap
'Dipinto' is Italian past participle of 'dipingere' (to paint), used as noun = 'a painting'. English 'depicted' means 'shown/represented' and is broader — 'depicted in a photo' would NOT be 'dipinto' in Italian.
To say "shown or represented in a picture" in Italian:
dipinto (noun: a painting); dipinto (past participle: painted/depicted)
"dipinto" in English means:
a painting (a work of art painted on canvas or similar)
Example
"Questo dipinto risale al Cinquecento."
"This painting dates back to the 16th century."
