Carbon Dating?

Can't they just clear up the controversy by analyzing a chip of wood off the back or something?—Chowbok 22:48, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Objectivity, neutrality?

[edit]

James Beck says that this is forgery of later years (and im pretty convinced by that ISBN 978-88-8398-043-5). Article is really biased and not neutral either, cos heavily based on what painting owners is saying. And, not suprisingly, they louds it clearly.

Next, it states "This iconic image of Madonna and Child, seen throughout the history of western art". And then "accessible to scholars for only half a century", so ? They are supposing, that this painting is the "mother" of the all other similar paintings ? And that is clearly untrue. Article really needs some other quotations beside painting owners. --Submixster (talk) 23:22, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
