Talk:View of Delft

Untitled
This is an excellent model for Wikipedia articles on paintings. I'm surprised it hasn't been attacked as "original research" by one of our many editors who provide plot summaries for novels in lieu of analysis. --Wetman 08:26, 27 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Agreed. A very fine entry. JNW 17:20, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

But apparently not the result of original research--page history suggests the article was borrowed from a web site, with permission. JNW 00:08, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

How well established is this telescope theory? This seems like opinion to me. Ichnography (talk) 13:29, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

See User_talk:Moonriddengirl/Archive_48. Unfortunately I cannot see the deleted file, so I cannot re-add the comments I made prior to deletion. This is a problem when copyvios are removed without notifying the contributors beforehand. Jane (talk) 08:41, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

Critique of the article on View of Delft
There isn't indication that the painting is of Delft as it looked from the south, besides that it is the artist's hometown. Additional information on the content of the painting, in terms of the objects and structures present, how they are represented compared to maps and documents indicating how they actually were would be beneficial. The Painting materials section could also be expanded when considering Vermeer's technique. Rhein o (talk) 23:41, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
