Signorelli's Adoration of the Magi

... that the horses in Signorelli's Adoration of the Magi (pictured) have been said to be "badly-drawn ... with curious mannerisms of too closely-placed nostrils, and human eyebrows"? Source: Cruttwell, Maud, Luca Signorelli, p. 38
- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Sybil Thorndike
- Comment: I'd like this to run on the 25th (see DYK talk on Holiday set). If it can't be done then, 6 January (Feast of the Epiphany) would be appropriate

Interesting painting, on good sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio ovious. The image is licensed, but I think it doesn't show well in stamp size. How about using the crop that supports the hook? - For my taste, you could consider some changes to the article, but that's not in the way of DYK.

Infobox
A real lead, - no idea what Raphael has to in a lead for this painting
Differentiate footnotes and references
Be a bit more specific in the sources, such as not just saying "Louvre page" but repeat the title of the painting, - this could be the Louvre page about Raphael's ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:06, 19 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Signorelli's Adoration of the Magi

If there are image concerns, @Johnbod:, can these be resolved asap? Kingsif (talk) 16:12, 19 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the quick review Gerda! This is the pic crop with horses - I'm fine with using that. I will be improving the article further over the next few days, though oddly I'm not sure I will incorporating Gerda's points. Johnbod (talk) 16:23, 19 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
