- ready to do this later today if nobody beats me to it - lovely image! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:32, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
Add note that I may propose an alt hook, the current one is interesting but I feel there may be a way to write it without being mostly a quote :)ALT1 added by Kingsif, 133 chars Kingsif (talk) 18:39, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
I'd prefer the original hook. Perhaps attribute who said so in the article. - Fascinating painting which I missed although I was in the chapel! Good sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. We need the image, and it's licensed. I do hope that, as a Christmas gift to our readers, it may be a little larger than usually. - In the article, I'd consider to give the image in the bottom gallery, showing the location in the chapel, more prominence. "know the Medici well" - is that how you say it? And is it one person or the family then? - Thank you continueing the tradition! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:52, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
