Greek or Roman?
Looking up the Louvre page for this (I can't link to it directly, but a search for "Piombino" will take you there) gives the impression the issue is not settled. Ridgway's judgement has not been infallible and there has been more recent research, perhaps a detailed description of the arguments would be useful. Twospoonfuls (ειπέ) 20:25, 26 July 2008 (UTC)


 * A good lead. I've added the Louvre on-line catalog to the footnotes and incorporated more details. What particular issue with Ridgeway's judgement sticks in one's memory?--Wetman (talk) 06:09, 27 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, notoriously there is the case of the Getty Kouros. Though it hasn't been definitively shown to be a forgery, I believe she and and the other art historians involved have retreated somewhat from their original positions. But more than that I think "proved" is simply too strong a term here in what is an ongoing debate. Twospoonfuls (ειπέ) 07:39, 27 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Oh, that marble: here's a balanced summary as of 1991: too early to dismiss Ridgeway's judgement entirely. Well I've added phrases directly based on the Louvre's on-line information, nothing more. If you can come up with any current article claiming this item is Greek, since you feel "the issue is not settled"... well, I suppose you'd have already added it to the article, if you had. Too bad we haven't a good photo of the Apollo. --Wetman (talk) 09:34, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
