Talk:Portrait of the Duke of Wellington (Goya)

A note

As the person who professed to have taken the painting was acquitted of larceny, I do not think that it is appropriate to unequivocally say that he "stole" the painting or to describe the taking of the painting as "theft". Contra, in the case of the frame.James500 (talk) 10:05, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

You talking in niceties. Or in other words bullshit. Ceoil (talk) 11:04, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

The painting in the film Dr. No

In the WP article about the film there is quite a nice quote from production designer Ken Adam: " I didn't see any reason why Dr No shouldn't have good taste ... we thought it would be fun for him to have some stolen art, so we used Goya's Portrait of the Duke of Wellington, which was still missing at the time. I got hold of a slide from the National Gallery - this was on the Friday, shooting began on the Monday - and I painted a Goya over the weekend. It was pretty good so they used it for publicity purposes but, just like the real one, it got stolen while it was on display."

But I suppose it would be out of place to add that to this article...? Invertzoo (talk) 15:15, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

Its quite a short article now, i think the current brief mention is fine; I woudnt add the quote. Ceoil (talk) 15:47, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

• Support per nom. Obvious. There are plenty of portraits of the Duke of Wellington in existence. In fact, the Lawrence one is probably more commonly seen. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:44, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
