Support This file is pretty much File:El Tres de Mayo, by Francisco de Goya, from Prado in Google Earth.jpg with the gilded frame and black margin on the left removed as much as possible. The resolution remains as high as before. -- StellarHalo (talk) 11:32, 3 July 2020 (UTC)- Good quality, but the frame pieces are annoying. Or are they part of the painting? --Andrei (talk) 18:58, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
Question Why saved at lossy Photoshop 8? And why the black line? Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:00, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
Comment @Andrew J.Kurbiko: @Charlesjsharp: I think I could provide explanation on the black line on the left edge of the painting. Looking at the painting along with its gilded frame in the Prado Museum, you can see the same black thin line. Comparing this to the photo of it without the frame taken while it was being restored in 2008, I believe that this black line is part of the painting rather than part of the frame piece. In addition, all the large digital reproductions of this painting I found on the Internet either have the same black line or if it does not, a small part of the painting is cropped from its left side such as this and this, which is not surprising since the line is not straight. --StellarHalo (talk) 10:24, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
- Comment Unlikely to be part of the painting. Charlesjsharp (talk) 11:14, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
- Comment Why do you think so? The frame is gilded and the black line is not straight. Goya must have messed up a bit on his canvas. StellarHalo (talk) 12:10, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
- What expertise do you have to suggest Goya must have messed up a bit on his canvas. You should be wary of off-the-cuff analysis. Charlesjsharp (talk) 12:06, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
- The "black line" is most likely the gap between the paining itself and the frame. Old paintings with the canvas stretched on a wooden frame, that might not have been perfectly straight and rectangular to begin with, get warped when the wood dries. In a lot of cases the painting and the frame don't match up perfectly and gaps appear. Some frames are made to cover a small portion of the paining's edges, some are not. In this case, it looks like the frame might not have been a perfect fit for the painting to begin with. --Cart (talk) 13:03, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
- Support Excellent. I think Cart's explanation for the frame is probably the right one. Cmao20 (talk) 16:35, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
- Support Thanks to explanation from Cart. --GRDN711 (talk) 04:11, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
