The Recognitions
A close-up of the painting was used as the cover for William Gaddis' The Recognitions (cf. with ); the novel is in part about forgeries of Flemish paintings—Wasabe3543 02:40, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Portinari Triptych → Portinari Altarpiece — I can't move it back, because it seems that it was (correctly) at that location, and someone moved it. Yes it is technically a triptych, but a triptych (art work on three panels) can be as big as this or as small as a pocket book. Altarpieces, on the other hand, constitute a body of works (many of which are renowned). The painting is known as the Portinari altarpiece, just the way the Isenheim altarpiece, the Ghent altarpiece and many others are known. Ok! where are they......? Ok! The problem is that they have two caps. THis needs to have a redirect from Portinari altarpiece with only one cap and take the same form as Ghent Altarpiece with two.
