   Comment I noticed that in the gallery the ratio between male and female paintings in 2:17, which is could be a Wikipedia illustration for gender inequality (see also: en:Sexual objectification). --Andrei (talk) 21:47, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

You're not the first one to notice that; I think it reflects that historically a lot of painters have been men, and they have either been commissioned or chosen to paint a lot more women. Daniel Case (talk) 00:13, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

•  Comment Good thinking, but not that interesting a painting to me. w:Henry Scott Tuke shows a number of more interesting compositions. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:52, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

  Scott is complicated because most of his works are kept in small galleries or private collections. Those, unlike major national museums, do not have serious digitalization projects and therefore most of his paintings are simply not available in good quality. And not everything is in PD. On the other hand, this particular piece provides "in a nutshell" all his characteristic features, including the marine theme, sensitivity, youth, combining nature and human, isolation and anonymity. Similar yet a bit more promoted painting can be found here (National Trust, not HD quality). In the broad category can be found more complex scenes, yet they often lack the atmosphere which is present here (or sometimes they are slightly badly framed). --Andrei (talk) 22:11, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

• There are also great male nudes by Renaissance master painters and so forth, just saying, and of course loads of sculptors have made male nude sculptures. Some very famous and great artists who aren't known as specializing in male nudes for the majority of their work nevertheless did great male nudes. So there should be lots to choose from if we're looking at this by motif. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:18, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

• No doubt in that, yet, on my opinion Henry Scott Tuke is important enough and deserves a nomination --Andrei (talk) 23:49, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

• Like I said, I do see some other compositions that look more interesting to me. I disagree with Daniel's opinion: Inevitably, part of the evaluation of whether a photo of an artwork has wow is a person's reaction to the work. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:28, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

•  Support This is not Commons:Featured paintings, but featured pictures. We make this decision on the quality of the digitization, not the quality of the digitized artwork. Daniel Case (talk) 00:13, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
