The Pearl and the Wave[edit]
- ... that Baudry's painting The Pearl and the Wave (pictured) was described by Kenyon Cox as "the most perfect painting of the nude" in the 19th century?
Created/expanded by SupernovaExplosion (talk). Self nom at 13:21, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
- Hook: Short enough, interesting. Needs a reference directly after the quote.
- Article: New enough, long enough. Well referenced. Paraphrasing checks against FN 1 and 5 shows no close paraphrasing.
- Summary:
Issue with referencing Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:43, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
- Done. --SupernovaExplosion Talk 01:50, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
- Which source is the quote in, FN 2 or 4? It's a single line, so it should be one source. Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:56, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
- FN 2. --SupernovaExplosion Talk 01:59, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
- Reference doesn't agree with what's in the article. He says "the most perfect painting of the nude in the past century", which (depending on when he wrote) could include part of the 20th century Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:56, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
- Suggesting a new hook. See below. --SupernovaExplosion Talk 05:38, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
- ALT hook
- ... that Baudry's painting The Pearl and the Wave (pictured) was bought by French Empress consort Eugénie de Montijo for 20,000 francs?
ALT1 is good to go. BTW, check out the file page for a special surprise Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:07, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
