asquadretti da letto

Hi all,

in the article it says: "These types are called asquadretti da letto, which translates to "for personal prayer"; they were bought by the wealthy for personal devotion, normally at home." I´m afraid asquadretto (singular of asquadretti) does not exist in Italian and "da letto" means "in bed".

Style

The article mentions Sirani and the pronoun "her" quite a bit. This is rather redundant as we all know since the intro it was Sirani who painted the picture. E.g.: Instead of "Sirani's plain dark background..." I would just write "The plain dark background..." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Supraios (talk • contribs) 14:23, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

Sources

If this is to become a good article, we will need to reflect some academic sources as well. All I saw, were online sources. Here are some suggestions:

• Frattolillo, Angela: Elisabetta Sirani : il genio e la grazia nel Seicento Bolognese / Angela Frattolillo. -

Bologna: Paolo Emilio Persiani, [2018] Modesti, Adelina: Elisabetta Sirani "Virtuosa" : women's cultural production in early modern Bologna / by Adelina Modesti. - Turnhout: Brepols, 2014. - XLIV, 448 S. : Ill.

• Elisabetta Sirani : "pittrice eroina", 1638 - 1665 ; [Bologna, Museo Civico Archeologico, 4 dicembre 2004 - 27 febbraio 2005] / a cura di Jadranka Bentini .... -
• Modesti, Adelina: Elisabetta Sirani : una virtuosa del Seicento bolognese / Adelina Modesti. -

Bologna: Compositori, 2004

• Das Galatheabild der Elisabetta Sirani

In: Blätter für Gemäldekunde. 1(1904/05), S. 51 DOI: 10.11588/diglit.20640.46

As is the case in history of art on European Baroque, you should be able to read non-English literature as well. As I´m rather occupied lately, I would like to see some of the original contributors insert foreign language literature. If need be, however, I would volunteer to do some reading in Italian or German and see what information I can add into the article. In that case, gimme a heads up.

Yes, you'd better do that, which would be great. As it is the article is adequately cited for a start-class aticle, but I agree not yet of GA quality. Johnbod (talk) 15:30, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

Allright, I´m at it. Could you take care of some of the points I raised above? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Supraios (talk • contribs) 18:12, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

Let´s redo this article

I have started with a proper description. The description needs to be amended with details.

I will provide scientific sources for the article. Everyone who has contributed to this article, please refer to my criticism under "view history". I know, its harsh, but I´ve studied art history and it causes me pain to read what I´ve read.

Please come up with proper sources if you think I was in the wrong when deleting your contributions. Supraios (talk) 18:56, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Virgin and Child (Sirani)/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Reviewer: Supraios (talk · contribs) 19:10, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

I will review this article after I have already done some tweakings here an there. Please refer to "View history" on the article page for my latest edits. I propose we divide this article into: 1. Description 2. Context and Interpretation 3. Legacy. We will need proper sources (not from the internet, but printed sources by art historians.) Believe me, there is plenty of serious literature on Sirani. I have already discussed 4 issues of the article on the former talk page which you find below: --19:10, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
