Question - Should it be this dark? P. S. Burton (talk) 11:49, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, that's just how it's been painted. TrebleSeven (talk) 11:53, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: The image page calls this a late 15th century picture, yet the article leads with a 1520 image, which is calls the earliest known. J Milburn (talk) 12:58, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I checked the source for the statement, it says late 16th century, and so does Cultural_depictions_of_Richard_III_of_England, so fixed that. Dcoetzee 13:33, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. The other image shown in article was painted from a painting that was an actual portrait (thus closer to a real depiction). This one looks very artistic, but is not in itself a famous work (enough to ahve an article) nor is it the best illustration of the subject. That said, hugely notable subject...TCO (Reviews needed) 02:22, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: It does strike me as rather odd that this picture does not feature on the Richard III article itself. Surely if this portrait were to be promoted, it should also go in the article of the person it is illustrating? Centy – reply • contribs – 23:37, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
