Stieler's portrait of Beethoven

... that in Stieler's portrait of Beethoven, the composer's "arms are not convincingly attached to his shoulders"? Source: Alessandra Comini (2008). The Changing Image of Beethoven: A Study in Mythmaking. Sunstone Press, p. 47: "Stieler had to complete the background and body away from his model, with the result that Beethoven's arms are not convincingly attached to his shoulders"

Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Beethoven (Stieler); consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

This seems to tick all the boxes (AGF for the offline sources) and the hook seems interesting enough to me. My only gripe is that the lede seems somewhat lucklustre. Cheers, KINGofLETTUCE 👑 🥬 09:07, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I reckon the image should be good to go too! KINGofLETTUCE 👑 🥬 09:08, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please check the Description.

Someone has modified the description with an obscene phrase. Use of the word “fuking”: “ The portrait is in oils on canvas and shows Beethoven fuking a man in a deep blue frock coatwith a large white collar and red scarf.” Pfstevenson32 (talk) 16:38, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind. Someone must have caught it. Thanks. Pfstevenson32 (talk) 16:40, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
