I wonder which one shows the truer colors? Looks like they are photographed with different color temperature lighting... --Janke | Talk 19:36, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There's no one true reproduction; brightness of light, sunlight v. artifical, and many other things will make it vary. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.2% of all FPs. Currently celebrating his 600^th FP!} 02:37, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree with Adam that there is no true reproduction. However, two things convinced me the replacement is better:
  1. If you zoom really close at the barn in the replacement image, you will notice the foreground wall of the barn remains unpainted. You can also see streaks from brushstrokes painting the sky that reach down into area of the barn wall. In the delist, these notable features are not clearly rendered. The unpainted barn wall also looks more yellow than an off white color you would expect from the unpainted canvass. The sky also has unnatural yellow streaks which are a more natural brown streaks in the replacement. This all indicates to me that the lighting in the delist is too yellow. Similar things are noticeable when looking at the bottom left corner as well where the canvass has blank spots allowing your eye to adjust and see the delist for the low quality image it really is.
  2. It is possible to virtually tour the painting in the museum setting here. While it doesn't complete prove this is the "best reproduction", the Google tour shows that the replacement colors are much closer to what it appears like in its exhibition setting.
- Hope that helps. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 05:56, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
