Add content
Please add information on the works. Like the context, stylistic, iconographic, formal analysis of the work. I have an art class and it is the only thing missing so I can study on this site. It's very great!

"Study of a Classical Maiden" NOT A WILLIAM BLAKE SKETCH
Hello WikiArt,
I was planning on doing a study of a piece you have attributed to William Blake, poet, painter, philsopher. You have it titled, "Study of a Classical Maiden", but in doing my research, I could not find ANYTHING referring to this piece, nor did it exist in anthologies of his artwork. So, I reached out to the Blake Archive and their response was that this sketch does NOT belong to William Blake (engraver), as you have attributed, but instead they suspect Sit William Blake Richmond, the son of Blake's friend George Richmond.3 votes -

New full-screen mode format looks great
Congratulations on the new Full-Screen format for "slide-show" viewing of an artist's opus. It's fantastic. After forswearing WikiArt.org, for months I've nevertheless been addicted to the site anyway, but I had to use a black, long, thin rectangular piece of cardboard to hide the arrows and verbiage at the bottom of the screen. Goodbye, rectangular strip. The difference in the visual experience with the new full-screen mode is so dramatic, my brain is having trouble processing it. The best art website on the internet just got even better. Please keep the new full-screen mode forever.

FUN ART
The Fun Art Manifesto
© 2008 Theresa BayerSomewhere between the noble realm of Fine Art and the mighty realm of Illustration, lies a curious little field that is coming to be known as Fun Art.
Although Fun Art is neither fine art nor illustration it has elements of both. It doesn’t seem to have an official history, although it’s probably been around as long as there have been artists. Fun Art may have a future, but no one is betting on it. Fun Art is simply Now.
Like fine art, Fun Art is all about being individual, having something…

Reconcile WikiArt with WikiGallery
There is this:
http://www.wikiart.org/en/gheorghe-tattarescu/hopeand there is this:
http://www.wikigallery.org/wiki/painting_319460/Bolognese-School/The-Penitent-Magdalen,-in-a-feigned-ovalThey cannot both be correct.
There are in fact many painted copies of this particular painting. You can buy one right now on eBay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/361503513480
and a handful of others have been sold in the last decade. Some are on canvas, some on board, all described as 19th century copies of an 18th century work, never attributed, usually seen as being in the manner of Reni or his student Sirani. It is not at all clear that errors will be corrected by popular input. In this case they are being multiplied.1 vote -

I still cannot understand what is your criteria for which painters to be included in Wikiart.
One can find conceptual painters with 19 artworks, but painters like Jack Vettriano are not presented.

Correct the location of "The Disrobing of Christ" by El Greco
Location on page indicates painting was destroyed. This is incorrect. The painting is currently housed in the Cathedral of Toledo in Spain (I should know, I saw it there less than a year ago with my own eyes!).

Tiepolo Error
As someone who has studied Baroque art for more than 25 years I would like to point out that the listing for Giovanni Battista Tiepolo is listed as "Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo". This second person was his son.
