File:Magdalen with the Smoking Flame c1640 Georges de La Tour.jpg

Hi. There are two very similar paintings: one in the Louvre and another in the LACMA.

• 
  LACMA
• 
  Louvre

Compare: LACMA website and Louvre website. Differences beteween these paintings are small, but look especially at Magdalen legs and at books - there are obviously different!

There are also three another Magdalens painted by La Tour (or atributted to him).

• 
  National Gallery of Art
• 
  Metropolitan Museum of Art
• 
  Musée Lorrain, Nancy (attributed/school of)

Please, correct your mistakes. Thanks, Cancre (talk) 17:23, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

You're very right! I did specify, however, the three other Magdalenes existing at the various other places you (and I) mention.

In the specific, I will replace the main Louvre image in the new entry. Thanks.--Smintheus Fellin (talk) 20:12, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Smintheus Fellin!

Tip: Add categories to your files

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]

[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.
