I wonder if others looking at the Details Competition last week found the reproduction of the detail for Competition number 1193 to be unacceptably poor? I suppose this is the new era of prosecco prizes, so anything is possible.
I think it might be better to offer a bottle of champagne to the "first out of the hat", rather than the print prize, with runners up receiving prosecco, though I accept others might disagree.
If anyone could not identify the detail for 1193 as a result of the poor colour reproduction, it was from a painting by Edouard Vuillard.

I didn't think the reproduction of the Vuillard was too bad; good enough for me to manage to identify it.
I agree about the idea of dispensing with the print prize and using the money saved for champagne for the first winner - it's a real rigmarole to claim the print prize too. I also think the prize of champagne or prosecco just doesn't work - winners can wait months for delivery and much time is expended/wasted on all sides chasing up the supplier. Why not send gift tokens in the post so you can buy the champagne of your choice or a new set of towels. Not so glamorous as a prize I suppose.
Still it isn't about the champagne/Prosecco - it's about learning about art which the quiz over many years has helped me to do.
