Talk:Jacob Jordaens

Untitled

POV?

"but Jordaens is wanting in dignity of conception, and is inferior in choice of forms, in the character of his heads, and in correctness of drawing. Not seldom he sins against good taste, and in some of his humorous pieces the coarseness is only atoned for by the animation."

This seems like an obvious statement of opinion, and the end of that second sentence doesn't even make any sense.

It is the general tone of the 1911 Britannica, a anglo-protestant classicist diatribe against catholic baroque in general. Ruskin still ruled.CARAVAGGISTI 16:20, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

waterscilder

Is waterscilder really the title or just a misspelling which got repeated. Google gives just 4 results for "waterscilder" all connected to jordaens. And it appears to have originated from a french document possibly misspelling the dutch word nl:schilderen. The problem of french speakers with the "schi" sound is well documented, for example with schild en vriend a well known Shibboleth. there are several sources that list it as "waterschilder" for example [1] Pinfix (talk) 10:40, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Goethe ?

How Jordaens could have adapted the story of «Night Vision» from a more contemporary version such as Goethe's ballad "Die Braut von Korinth" since Goethe was born 100 years after Jordaens’ death ? -- Ignoto (talk) 16:33, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

Candaules

I added another painting. I saw the image of Jordaens "Candaules" painting on another page. I came here to find out more, but there was nothing, so I added it. Will someone, with more knowledge than I possess (not a high bar), please edit this subsection to be a better description? Thanks, Nick Beeson (talk) 16:09, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
