thread_title: Mistress?

message: I have a poster of this painting with the following text underneath:
Your face holds all the love in the world. Moonlight steals across your face so full of Earthly beauty and Grief. For now Death extends her hand of Life and a bond is made between the thousands of generations who are dead and the thousands of generations to come.
Does anybody know about the text?--Oxonian2006 (talk) 00:07, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

message: * Has entered unsourced controversial content, along with an image that's pretty clearly not an autograph work. In short, unless someone can substantiate this, it looks like a hoax. JNW (talk) 18:20, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: *I've again reverted the contention that Munch made a final version in 1922. The sources behind this, and from which the text was lifted, are in no way reliable, and indicate WP:COI , . Nor is the image of a quality that would suggest Munch's, let alone any experienced artist's hand. I don't know if the intent is based upon the honest enthusiasm of someone who believes they've found a lost masterwork, or something less respectable. JNW (talk) 13:13, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Entirely correct. Johnbod (talk) 14:45, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: "several" is enough detail for us, especially given the prints. The blog is rather self-contradictory: 
Among the master works, a series of eight Madonnas dated from 1895-1914.
The most famous is a Madonna depicted as a nude; in 1892 when it was sent to a show in Berlin it so shocked the public that the show was shut down. I've found a better ref though; in fact it was painted in 1886. Johnbod (talk) 20:13, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

text: As long as no reliable sources or scholarship confirm the authenticity of the '1922' work, I'd suggest you cease referring to it at all, as it's a conflict of interest and looks like an attempt to use Wikipedia to promote the work. If you continue in this vein I'll ask you be blocked for promoting an interest. The rest appears uncontroversial for the moment. JNW (talk) 17:27, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
