Phoenician metal bowls
A Phoenician bowl from the Walters Art Museum
- ... that the discovery of Phoenician metal bowls in 1849 created the entire concept of Phoenician art? Source: Nicholas Vella, “Phoenician” Metal Bowls: Boundary Objects in the Archaic Period*: "When a young Austen Henry Layard discovered on January, 5th 1849 a hoard of bronze bowls in the ruins of the palace of the ninth-century BC Assyrian king Ashurnasirpal II at Nimrud, he effectively gave birth to Phoenician art as a style, a definition with which historians of art still largely concur."

New, long, & interesting enuf. Some might complain about the long quote, but not me. Nicely written, illustrated and referenced. Is Phoenician art a redlink? No, and this article isn't linked there! Tricky QPQ done, and Earwig finds nothing but titles & quotes. Hook checks out. Oddly, I've been doing Adoration of the Kings (Bramantino) today, a painting Layard donated to the National Gallery. Is it worth keeping the hook for 5 January, the anniversary of the discovery? And there's room to name him in the hook. Otherwise GTG. Johnbod (talk) 22:57, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
