Moving to "Master of Pratovecchio"

edit

I'm moving the article to Master of Pratovecchio (paralleling the title on de.wiki). As this 2005 summary reviews, there appears to still be ongoing discussion as to the actual identity of this master. An alternative identification, following Fredericksen has been to identify the painter with Giovanni di Francesco. This is the link that has until now been made on Wikidata, and on Commons. But it also has its difficulties.

Even the National Gallery seems to be equivocal, titling its page "Jacopo di Antonio (Master of Pratovecchio?)", and then talking about "Francesco Fiorentino".

So for the moment, I propose unmixing the categories on Commons, and splitting into two separate items on Wikidata. The one thing that the painter can with certainty be identified with is the Pratovecchio altarpiece, so for the moment the one solid foundation for naming this article would seem to be "Master of Pratovecchio".
