... that Maria de Knuijt, rather than her husband, was actually the main patron of Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer, according to scholarship published in 2023?Source: https://www.dailyartmagazine.com/maria-de-knuijt/- Reviewed:
- Comment: check the article history: it is chequered; the article was basically rewritten from scratch after doubts about its accuracy.
5x expanded by CaroleHenson (talk) and Drmies (talk). Nominated by Drmies (talk) at 15:50, 30 April 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Maria de Knuijt; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Interesting expansion, on fine sources. The image is licensed and a good illustrations, however, it somehow needs to be connected in the hook. I am not sure if the sequence of inheriting the estate is really lead material, and would prefer to see there why she is now believed to be the main patron. While that is optional as far DYK is concerned, I'm also waiting for a qpq. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:28, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
- Hi Gerda Arendt, Good to see you here!
- How would it be to swap in "who painted the Girl with a Pearl Earring"? It's covered in the source.

- Let's play with it. I miss the recent scholarship a bit, and couldn't we say that she owned it?
- Also: I was perhaps not precise, - we don't have to mention the title in the hook (which is an unwanted duplication) but need to make a connection by saying what is pictured (because the first idea would be that de Knuijt is pictured), for example:
- ALT0a: ... that according to scholarship published in 2023, Maria de Knuijt, rather than her husband, was actually the main patron of Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer (work pictured)? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:54, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
- Lovely!–CaroleHenson (talk) 20:24, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
Offline and subscription sources accepted AGF. I feel that I can approve because I added no new content, only helped with the wording. I'll watch it for new ideas but will be more away than there until Monday. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:01, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks so much, Gerda Arendt. I made some changes here, most of which was adding inline citations for each of the paintings in the art collection section, as discussed on the talk page.–CaroleHenson (talk) 01:52, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
