Talk:Filippo Lippi

Untitled
I found this article incedibly messy. It should be placed on Wikipedia Cleanup status. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.170.222.164 (talk • contribs) May 7, 2007

I have tried to tidy this up, but a few lines are beyond my comprehension. This needs the help of someone knowledgable. Also needs someone who's read Vasari and can double-check. Pishogue 01:24, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Death date
Sources variously give 8 October, 9 October or 10 October. Anyone know where these different dates came from, and which one is more likely to be the correct one? --  Jack of Oz   [pleasantries]  21:18, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

Critical review of the article
Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Many of the paragraphs are only cited once or twice when multiple separate facts are reference.

Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you? The dates and the timeline of the article completely jump around, making it very hard to understand. In a single paragraph multiple important themes and time periods are mentioned

Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? The article remains neutral, however the information only comes from very minimal sources, which decreases any variety in position or opinion.

Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted? Vasari is a main source who is renowned, but only the opinion of one man. One source appears to be a biography from newadvent.org, which focusses mainly on Lippi's religious ties. The other sources are short summary biographies from Museum websites that carry his work, which lack detail.

Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? There is not any real inclusion of discussion of his works, other than the overall dates and description. Also no discussion of his legacy.

Check a few citations. Do the links work? Is there any close paraphrasing or plagiarism in the article? Some of the links work, and there is close paraphrasing in the article, even some plagiarism.

Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added? The overall timeline is not accurate, with dates jumping from childhood to adulthood. The design of the article could be better, separating his background and then specifically looking into each period of his work as an artist.

Fra' or Fra? And Lippo Lippi
In a couple of places Fra is written Fra'. The apostrophe is not necessary, it is not used in Italian (see the corresponding entry in the Italian Wikipedia and the Treccani entry for "Fra". The article says he is also known as "Lippo Lippi", but I think only in Browning's poem. Perhaps I'm wrong in this, but I've never seen him called Lippo Lippi by art historians, either in English or Italian. Maybe we could simply write "also called Lippo Lippi in Browning's poem".METRANGOLO1 (talk) 09:12, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
