A fact from Flaying of Marsyas (Titian) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 20 August 2017 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Titian's Flaying of Marsyas (1570s) shows a satyr being skinned alive by Apollo, and was once the prize in a lottery?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2017/August. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Flaying of Marsyas.

Title

Shouldn't the title of this article be disambiguated by the name of the artist, as Flaying of Marsyas (Titian)? There are plenty of works depicting the flaying of Marsyas (which should probably disambiguate, or redirect to Marsyas) not least the Bronzino in the Hermitage.[1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.205.251.158 (talk) 10:28, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not until another one gets an article. Johnbod (talk) 16:15, 21 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Bronzino

IPs like me are not trusted to start a new article, so I'll just write the text here instead:

Flaying of Marsyas is a 1531 painting by the Florentine artist Bronzino, depicting the flaying (skinning alive) of Marsyas by Apollo after the satyr rashly challenged the Greek god to a musical contest. It is held in the Hermitage Museum.
