- Support. There is a minor problem with the reflections off the paint, but all in all, it's a very good scan that looks as though the colours are accurate (I think I've seen either this painting or a historical copy of it, in real life). Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 04:36, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
- Comment, it looks kind of fuzzy to me... and... the crop looks really tight... any pictures of it in the frame to compare? gren グレン 06:03, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
- Info Having seen this painting numerous times in real life, I can testify that this is the right color scheme. Further more it is a masterpiece of the Baroque-era, not the Renaissance-era. Last but not least, the crop looks tight because the edges of the painting were cut of some 300 years ago. --Massimo Catarinella (talk) 10:34, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
- Hehe, thanks. I'm afraid art history isn't my forte.
