Libel and vandalism

Has anyone noticed the text on this article recently?? I believe (and i've noticed its history too) this page is a target of vandalism relating to certain public figures, and whole text should be re-written. I'll proceed and adjust it accordingly.--Smintheus Fellin (talk) 14:43, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Parallel passage

Should there not also be a reference to the parallel passage in Luke 6:39, as well as Matthew 15:14? AvidReader11663 (talk) 17:30, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Main picture

The Google Art project presents this painting as the one painted by Pieter Bruegel the Elder. But, this information does not seem correct to me. The painting is located at the Louvre Museum in Paris, not in Naples. So, the file represents the copy attributed to Pieter Brueghel the Younger. I modified accordingly the article, restoring the previous image.

Anyhow, on the Louvre Museum website the attribution to Pieter Brueghel the Younger is presented just as an old one. The painting is attributed more generally to the school of Pieter Bruegel the Elder. Maybe this is the source of the mistake. Harlock81 (talk) 12:56, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I guess the Louvre is an authoritative reference. There is no evidence that the author of this copy is Brueghel the Younger. Yann (talk) 13:41, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, there is not. The attribution to Brueghel the Younger is a dated one, reported as such on the Louvre page. The article should be corrected accordingly. --Harlock81 (talk) 13:57, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A dated one means that this attribution is wrong. Sure, it is a copy of the painting from Capodimonte, but attributing it to Brueghel the Younger is certainly wrong. Yann (talk) 14:03, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

But, I'm not attributing the painting to Brueghel the Younger. The article presents this information referring to an art book.

Also, the dated attribution may also be in use to distinguish the copy from the original, as the one once attributed to Brueghel the Younger - as it commonly happens for artworks. For sure, no one attributes this copy to Bruegel the Elder. So, the substitution of the image as the main picture of the painting was wrong. --Harlock81 (talk) 14:12, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
