Original – The Punishment of Lust 1891. Also called The Punishment of Luxury by people that can't bring themselves to say ... you know ... the "L" word;
Reason
It's freaky. For the sin of Lust you get to magically float around naked in the Alps in a child's sleeping bag with a lot of other women who look exactly like you. It might be a bit nippy, and I'd like to take a jumper and some gloves, but other than that it's pretty cool. Google Art Project hasn't been tempted to lighten it so you still get the twilight in the mountains feel.

  • Support Interesting. I assume this is for adulterous women only due to "a lot of other women who look exactly like you". Brandmeistertalk 14:04, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose Support - I'm not sure I see an EV, there is no mention of this painting at all in the article. Is this painting representative of the style of the author? There should be at least a sentence or two in order to give this (very good) scan EV. Mattximus (talk) 20:31, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - quite possibly an article could be written about this painting, itself. — Cirt (talk) 20:33, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'm doing one; I normally note that in the nomination but I forgot this time; I was probably light-headed from floating around at high altitude without my top on. Belle (talk) 00:38, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Mattximus and Cirt: et voilà! Belle (talk) 10:24, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Great job! I'd see if one could find a bit more secondary sources discussing historical Reception of the work, for a new subsection, but a very nice start. :) — Cirt (talk) 10:53, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
