Talk:Sadak in Search of the Waters of Oblivion

Materials
This article states that the painting is "oil-on-glass", yet the image in the Commons is tagged as "Öl auf Leinwand" (oil on linen). Which is it? -- Ziusudra (talk) 14:46, 4 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Response: My mistake. I checked sources and found that I misinterpreted the Tekstura article. I've made the correction. Ugajin (talk) 21:06, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Who is Sadak?
Is Sadak a figure from mythology or fiction? Or an invention of the artist? 78.32.103.197 (talk) 15:09, 4 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Response: As the article explains, Sadak is a fictional character in a 1764 story by James Ridley. I've re-phrased the text to make this clearer. Ugajin (talk) 21:06, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Mention od different versions
There are different versions of this painting: (Boston, since 1961), i.e. prior to the 1983 discovery of the  St. Louis Version and the  Southhampton Version. The Boston version is not mentioned and put into context in the article. Perhaps somebody with literature at hand, could resolve this. --Wuselig (talk) 10:24, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
