WTF is wrong with his legs

What is wrong with the legs in the painting? He looks like he has two left legs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.52.229.184 (talk) 01:13, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

• He was suffering from gout, which is why the thigh of his left leg and right ankle are swollen. Xanthomelanoussprog (talk) 13:24, 15 July 2018 (UTC)

• Actually, the anatomical inaccuracies are a known issue with this painting and have some interesting theories behind it. The German version of this article details this. If I find the time I'll translate that part and add it to this article. Crusoe704 (talk) 13:07, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

Picture of the day

Goethe in the Roman Campagna is an oil painting on canvas completed in 1787 by the German Neoclassical artist Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Tischbein. It depicts Johann Wolfgang von Goethe whilst the writer was travelling in Italy between 1786 and 1788; diaries from this journey served as the basis for his Italian Journey (1816–17). Since 1887, the painting has been held by the Städel Museum in Goethe's hometown, Frankfurt.Painting: Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Tischbein

Tomb of Caecilia Metella

The monument in the background is Tomb of Caecilia Metella on Appia Antica. It would be useful to clarify that. The view is from North East - facing south East onto the Appia Antica, which runs - currently - the monument. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caecilia_Metella

And then, the southern parts of the Abruzzi mountain scape.

I may be mistaken - but doesn't the stone show the hooded emperor Augustus? I may be thinking about the Ara Pacis. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.160.132.206 (talk) 22:54, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
