Merger proposal[edit]

@Lampman and DilletantiAnonymous: I propose that Le Bénédicité be merged into Saying Grace (Chardin), as they cover the same topic: the multiple paintings Chardin produced of this theme.

Of the books in the articles' respective bibliographies the only one I've got to hand is Gombrich's Story of Art , which gives the title as Saying grace (Le Bénédicité) (p. 490 in my 2002 edition). I've also got Gabriel Naughton's volume on Chardin in the Phaidon Colour Library (2013), in which the title is Saying Grace (p. 94). Based on these sources, I'm proposing merging to the English title, which would also be consistent with how the other titles at Category:Paintings by Jean Siméon Chardin are treated.

Merge Chardin (Royal Academy of Arts & Metropolitan Museum of Art, 2000, p. 246) also uses Saying Grace as the title of both the Louvre and Hermitage versions. Ewulp (talk) 01:04, 17 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
