Is it a hare or a rabbit?[edit]

They're not the same thing, and in British English at least the words are *never* used interchangeably. 86.136.248.152 (talk) 16:00, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Stephen Jay Gould[edit]

Stephen Gould wrote a chapter on the interpretations of paintings now lost. Various icons were inserted in paintings to represent notions, such as a dog in a wedding scene to represent loyalty. The 'fighting temmerine', shows that ship being drawn up the thames to be broken up, but the masts and light rigging, and the sunset are not so much historical accuracies, but that one age has passed and a new one has come.

The hare here is meant to represent speed. It's a hare, since rabbits were never used as markers of speed. Wendy.krieger (talk) 13:30, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Artistic technique[edit]

The subsection "Artistic technique" uses a lot of significant chunks, verbatim, from Thackeray's comments on this painting, yet he's not mentioned anywhere. I'm assuming the given sources are quoting Thackeray as well. At the very leaat, the original author should be mentioned, as he is the one who came up with phrases such as "dirty putty slapped on to the canvas with a trowel" or "scintillates out of very thick smeary lumps of chrome yellow" etc. ---Sluzzelin talk 20:18, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
