American or not
editAs @2A01:36D:1200:404D:F546:5F77:C243:2131: wished to discuss the nationality of the painting. We shall have it here. I say it should be for context of the painter and the subject matter. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 09:02, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
- Then what would you suggest for the wording? The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 09:04, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
- Simply "fresco painting by American painter Edwin Boyd Johnson". --2A01:36D:1200:404D:F546:5F77:C243:2131 (talk) 09:07, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
- That's fine, but nationality of either does need to be mentioned. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 09:10, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
Which is why I want to have "fresco painting by American painter Edwin Boyd Johnson". --2A01:36D:1200:404D:F546:5F77:C243:2131 (talk) 11:07, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
Paintings don't have nationalities.
editFor example, we don't call the Mona Lisa Italian, The Scream Norwegian, ec. So why call this American? --2A01:36D:1200:404D:F546:5F77:C243:2131 (talk) 09:02, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
