 * Comment Looks somewhat soft and oversaturated to me, I wonder whether Google Art failed here. This version looks better. Brandmeistertalk  19:58, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
 *  Weak Support - Though the picture is showing the sensational art.--     L o g     X    16:12, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
 * The alt image looks fine. I support. --     L o g     X    13:52, 31 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Oppose as per Brandmeister. Even if the colours are not oversaturated in this scan (which I think they are), the resolution is far under the version linked by Brandmeister. Mattximus (talk) 23:14, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose Poor colours. Not sharp. The points of reflected light are apparent all over the entire picture. While I would rule out a work as big as the Bacchus and Ariadne for reflected light on some areas, in this case it's widespread.  Also, it's yet another female nude. Unfortunately this series of nudes began with two non-great pieces of Victoriana, so we have had two too many. The main page is coming to resemble Page Three. We need a bit of a time and space gap between the direction-setting Giorgione, and this, considered the supreme masterpiece of the Renaissance nude. Our next nude ought to be something that is not Renaissance and not an idealised female posing and gazing at the (male) viewer- Rembrandt's Bathsheba for example.   which has a tragic story. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amandajm (talk • contribs) 00:58, 30 October 2013‎
 * Comment Added the picture from Brandmeister's link as an an alt. Armbrust The Homunculus 06:14, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Support alternative- That is a much better version. The slightly yellowed tone is much more normal to old paintings than the pinking/reddish shade of the other. Th lighting is better. Amandajm (talk) 09:56, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Weak support alt A much better version agreed, but the resolution (although higher than our minimum) is still on the small side for works of art. Mattximus (talk) 13:34, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
