Talk:The Death of General Wolfe

Which of these images is better?
Which of these two images of The painting we should be using?

Image 1 has better detail, but Image 2 is more colourful and striking. --Arctic Gnome 19:01, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Image 1, the colouring appears more true to the original, the second looks somewhat discoloured LordFenix 19:03, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

The coloring on the first in closer to the original and the detail is much better.Paper 19:03, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

The present image of the painting is cut: the approaching runner mentioned in the article can only be found in former versions of the image of the painting (and on the image of the engraving). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iwnit (talk • contribs) 01:31, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

Man in green
The man in green at left is identified (in the painting) as Sir William Johnson - his name is scratched on the powderhorn he wears - although Johnson himself was not at the battle. Since West named him, the article should reflect that.Catherinejarvis (talk) 17:07, 1 August 2013 (UTC)


 * He is also pointing at a runner which is not included in the image here. Does anyone have a non cropped version. 67.69.76.26 (talk) 04:43, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

John Honeyman
It's surprising that John Honeyman is not portrayed, since Wolfe had made Honeyman his personal bodyguard after Honeyman had saved him from a likely-fatal fall during the Atlantic crossing on the frigate Boyne. In the story written by Honeyman's grandson in 1873 "Our Home," Honeyman is said to have reported that he carried Wolfe from the battlefield "walking in blood the whole way." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.12.93.134 (talk) 05:33, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

New image needed
Though several other people have already mentioned this, I just wanted to point out that the current image used in the infobox is cut off on the left side, cutting off the runner bearing the French flag (allegorical of the French defeat). Aside from the problems inherent in the image in the infobox not be the entirety of the original painting, it is compounded upon by the fact that the article makes direct reference to the runner, when the reader of the article cannot even see the runner from the image included. I think it would be beneficial to the state of the article if this could be fixed. Bombadil3019 (talk) 22:51, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
