The Banquet of Cleopatra[edit]
- ... that Tiepolo's The Banquet of Cleopatra of 1744, now in Melbourne, shows her about to dissolve a pearl in vinegar to win a bet?

As soon as I saw the authors I knew this would be high quality! Meets all the criteria. Only obvious thing that stands out to me in the article itself is that it doesn't cite the website of the National Gallery of Victoria - which actually owns the painting - at all. Putting in the catalogue record http://www.ngv.vic.gov.au/col/work/4409 would seem to me to be the most clear citation for the "now in melbourne" part of the hook.
