Retable of the Virgin of Montserrat

Retable of the Virgin of Montserrat by Bartolomé Bermejo
Retable of the Virgin of Montserrat by Bartolomé Bermejo
  • ... that the Retable of the Virgin of Montserrat (pictured) was commissioned by a merchant as a sign of gratitude for his safe return from a shipwrecked journey from Savona to Valencia? Source: "Like other Italian merchants, Francesco della Chiesa, who commissioned the triptych, had a penchant for Flemish painting. Established in Valencia, he must have regarded Bermejo as the ideal choice for painting a votive offering to the Virgin of Montserrat – perhaps in gratitude for being saved from shipwreck during one of his voyages between the ports of Savona and Valencia – to preside over the chapel he founded in the cathedral of Acqui Terme, his birthplace." Museo del Prado

Created by JeBonSer (talk). Self-nominated at 15:33, 8 September 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Retable of the Virgin of Montserrat; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

  • Adequate sourcing: No - ? There's one claim at the end of the landscape section (The marina, in the center of the background...) that isn't sourced. I'm not crazy about using that image on commons as a citation for and in art (§The main scene). All the refs are in Italian, so I'm going to AGF there.
  • Neutral: Yes
  • Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing: Yes

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Yes
  • Interesting: Yes
  • Other problems: No - The source & quote say possibly, to take it as certainty, as the hook does, seems quite a stretch.
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: Done.

This has been sitting for a month -- Edward-Woodrow, do you plan to continue this review or is a new reviewer needed? Vaticidalprophet 04:04, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
