Messy POV

[edit]

I did a little work today in trying to make this a lot more encyclopedic but it's thriving with original research and a massive lack of neutrality. I'm not particularly invested in this but I hope someone can jump in and continue. --Midnightdreary (talk) 13:59, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, more specific commentary... the sections (now subsections) make no sense, and the prose is disjointed and out of order. Using images as a reference is unacceptable; footnotes should be to commentary on Peale's paintings, not the paintings themselves (otherwise it's original research, which we don't do here). After reading this article, I think this guy must have been some kind of deity descended from heaven itself. The gallery might be too much too; a link to Commons might suffice. --Midnightdreary (talk) 14:03, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

1800 Jefferson portrait used on circulating U.S. nickel, for legacy section?

[edit]

An 1800 portrait of Jefferson is on the currently circulating U.S. nickel. This might be worth working into the legacy section. U.S. Mint description Wikipedia discusses this in the Forward-facing_Jefferson_(2006-present) section of Nickel (United_States_coin) Jodi.a.schneider (talk) 00:27, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Roman Daughter subtext

[edit]

I think it's worth noting that upon closer examination of The Roman Daughter it quite appears as if the "daughter" is supporting her breast as if suckling the "father". Her garment over her left breast is lowered enough and the man's mouth open and close enough to suggest he is suckling from her nipple. Perhaps Pearle meant the Woman to signify a part of Rome herself. -Anthiety (talk) 02:34, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Sisters (Eleanor and Rosalba Peale)
The Sisters, an oil painting on canvas completed by Rembrandt Peale (1778–1860) in 1826. It depicts the artist's daughters, Eleanor and Rosalba, seated side-by-side, and emphasizes each daughter's creative talents. Eleanor sits before a tapestry-covered table, where a palette and volume of music are visible. Rosalba, meanwhile, holds a drawing tool. The painting is held by the Brooklyn Museum in New York City.Painting: Rembrandt Peale
