Sforza Hours[edit]
- ... that the Sforza Hours is one of the earliest recorded examples of art theft?
Created by Helical gear (talk). Self nom at 20:53, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
- Re documentation of early art theft, see this book, with a focus upon the Verrines and a reference to the Curse of Akkad. A distinction might be drawn vs plunder in time of war; but how about the Delphic tripod or the Palladion? Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 11:54, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
- And the Book of Kells. Perhaps:
- ALT 1: ... that the Sforza Hours is one of the earliest recorded examples of art theft in the Italian Renaissance?
New enough, long enough, well cited, excellent article with interesting referenced hook (Alt1, that is). Needs only citations for some paragraphs which have none. In view of what Maculosae tegmine lyncis says, I think the first hook is best discarded. Moonraker (talk) 00:29, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
- Comment: Helical gear added references on 20 February after your comment. All paragraphs are now cited. Good to go? Moswento (talk) 10:36, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
- Added "the theft of" to ALT1 hook for clarity. Froggerlaura (talk) 03:04, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
