-Most people consider photographs as more practical than portraits, yet certain philosophers and writers expressed a sense of nostalgia towards painted portraits. In his novel The Journey of The Fool, Fady Bahig puts on the tongue of his protagonist those words: ... portraits, with their blurred edges fall much closer to the heart of the beholder than photographs with their well-defined edges. Portraits have always given me the feeling of perceiving people as eternal or as manifestations of eternity, as if I have been familiar with them for the whole eternity that preceded my essence.
The Portrait page is cluttered and disorganised. Portrait painting seems to be much better in both aspects, and I can't see a real reason for the separation of the two pages. I propose merging Portrait painting into this, a more general page on portraits. Jameshfisher 11:48, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
Hello. I am a writer for the Smithsonian's Center for Education, which publishes _Smithsonian in Your Classroom_, a magazine for teachers. An online version of a recent issue titled "Portraits, Visual and Written" is available for free download at this address:
http://www.smithsonianeducation.org/educators/lesson_plans/portraits/index.html
Mark Twain and Louisa May Alcott are the focus of this issue. Students compare National Portrait Gallery images and postage stamp portraits of the authors with written self-portraits.
If you think the Wikipedia audience would find this valuable, I wish to invite you to include it as an external link. We would be most grateful.
Thank you so much for your attention —Preceding unsigned comment added by 160.111.254.11 ( talk • contribs)
When i click on the "self-potrait" link it goes staight back to portrait. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.20.242.16 ( talk • contribs)
Certain sections are word for word copies of a similar Encarta article.I haven't had time to go through and check exactly which sections are identical, but I know the Baroque/Rococo section is. I would suggest that this be cleaned up and re-written. That, or Encarta should be contacted over a possible copyright infringment. I would also suggest contacting User:Koppedia -- Chris Lloyd 02:50, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
Why was "Depiction" redirected to this page?!?!!? Depiction is a much more general term than "portrait," even if it does happen to have a particular meaning within painting.
The article needs to be given an overall flow. As is, it's more of a collection of random bits that haven't been made to fit together into a nice, clean, readable whole. Ben Aveling 22:53, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
Is a statue or a bust a portrait as well? I was under the impression that only 2d works, primarily paintings, could be called portraits (perhaps the word portrait if a false friend to the Polish portret...)? -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 02:17, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
