Antonio Fantuzzi

[edit]
Mars and Venus Bathing, etching
Mars and Venus Bathing, etching
  • ... that Antonio Fantuzzi's "mildly licentious" etching of Mars and Venus Bathing (c. 1543, pictured) probably copies a painting in the six-room bath suite of the Palace of Fontainebleau? Source: not the one used, but per the British Museum "it is possible that it was designed for the decoration of the Appartement des Bains, Fontainebleau. Also see 'École de Fontainebleau', Paris 1972, cat. No.323, 'Fontainebleau et l'estampe en France au XVIe siècle, iconographie et contradictions', Nemours 1985, cat. No.122; 'The French Renaissance in Prints', Los Angeles 1994, cat. No.44 [this is the source used - as "Boorsch"]; and 'Primaticcio', Paris 2004, cat. No.80.

  • First of all, lovely article. Checked for prose (newly expended on Jan 8; interesting, long enough, neutral, properly cited, no plagiarism); images all in order; QPQ done; hook is interesting and within length requirements, and I will AGF on the Boorsch reference verifying it; however, one citation in the text appears to cite a sources not provided as reference -- in note 19, we get this: As described by the British Museum: "the goddess, standing on the left next to the olive tree with Hermes on her side, is already crowned by Nike; on the right, Poseidon is holding the horse; in the upper part, an assembly of gods attending the contest". This needs to be used transformed into a cited reference, perhaps with the (archived?) link to the British Museum entry for that item; simply using "as described by the British Museum" isn't proper form, unless we indicate where, in the citation.

Thanks! Note 29 in fact. Link added (it was indeed on the image page). Johnbod (talk) 13:19, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
Great! Dahn (talk) 15:04, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
NOTE to Promoters etc. I did a bunch of these Italian printmakers together, which are now hitting the main page very close - 2 on 4 Feb, one on 5 Feb. Since we hadn't had any for a very long time before, can we space this out, say until after 10 Feb? Johnbod (talk) 16:07, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
