 * Support EV is great. Why does the image darken itself in the articles? Am I the only one seeing that? -- WingtipvorteX  PTT   ∅  21:03, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I think the thumbnail is not updated from the previous version; a "Commons" problem. J Kadavoor J e e 05:48, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
 * It looks ok now, at least in my browser. Brandmeistertalk  16:40, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I still see the dark one. Does this fixe itself after some time? -- WingtipvorteX  PTT   ∅  20:41, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Possible a caching issue somewhere between you and Wikipedia. I have the same issue too, but if I preview the image at any other size rather than 250px - I get the bright version. - hahnch e n 00:04, 6 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Support -Great reproduction, notable painting. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:15, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment - Do we usually alter the levels in a Google Art Project image? I'm more interested in having something as close the original as possible, rather than something that pops out.  Out of the three revisions, I prefer the 2013-04-30 version.  But both are better than the latest 2013-05-01 "bright" version. - hahnch e n 00:04, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Tate Gallery's version is actually quite dull, perhaps due to age-related fading. I also see a slight bluish hue there and don't think this was the original state of the painting. Brandmeistertalk  11:56, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I do see what you mean regarding the bluish hue, but I think the current version makes the light background look overexposed. - hahnch e n 13:43, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
