Feedback from New Page Review process

I left the following feedback for the creator/future reviewers while reviewing this article: Thank you for this page. There were some ambiguities and inadequacies with respect to word choice ("escape" instead of "seascape"), grammar and style, and the issue of who painted what exactly (as there are three painters), hopefully all resolved now.

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

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy compliance:

Adequate sourcing: - ? 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:
Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook eligibility:

Interesting:
Other problems: - 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)[reply]

@Vaticidalprophet: Oops, yes, I didn't see that the issues had been fixed. Thanks for the ping.

Approved.
