•  Qualified support For the darker lower part of the image. But that seemed inevitable. -- Johann Jaritz (talk) 04:55, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

•  Support - Good picture of an important work. The lower left corner looks unsharp, but as Livio explained in a previous nomination of a photo of a fresco in the Collegiata, that's from damage to the work. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:52, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
•  Question Can you gradually brighten up the darker lower part a bit? --Uoaei1 (talk) 18:30, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

•  Support The fact that God and the Devil are eating, drinking and have a band playing while they do such serious negotiations gives a good insight into how politics were done at the time this was painted. --cart-Talk 09:18, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

•  Comment Well, cart, I suppose we see Job and his wife having one of their legendary parties here... (cf. Hiob 1:10-11) - while Satan argues that Job's piety would quickly fade were his riches gone... --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 09:52, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

• Thanks for correcting me, I didn't know the whole story. With old paintings it is always hard to know how much of it is from the original texts and how much is colored by the customes at the time it was painted. --cart-Talk 10:12, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

• I certainly didn't want to curb your iconological enthusiasm. I absolutely agree that visual sources of the past offer much more than a narrow iconographic approach to analysis may determine. --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 11:11, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

• No problem whatsoever! It's always fun trying to decipher old paintings, a broad view of the period is essential and I'm by no means an expert. Most of the time you need several experts from different disciplines to make something of it. --cart-Talk 11:35, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
