What is that apostrophe doing there? Piet | Talk 09:11, 15 September 2006 (UTC)


 * It seems to be a substitute for an "i".Struman 11:54, 15 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Hm that makes sense. It hurts my eyes though, I've never seen that. But then, I donna speaka Italiano. Piet | Talk 13:10, 15 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Think of Catherine de' Medici.--Wetman 06:28, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

The Metropolitan's Aphrodite
I hope this exact replica can stay here for comparison and not be sliced away to make a less meaningful stub on its own. Not every marble chip from Antiquity is fully understandable in isolation. --Wetman 06:28, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Lost?
I'm having trouble understanding something. Is this statue lost? This article doesn't mention it's current location, but doesn't say it's lost. It also doesn't seem to include a photo, suggesting the drawings is all there is. Could this article be clarified? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.212.17.191 (talk) 15:34, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

I too was curious about this.. some pretty extensive google searching only came up with a facebook page saying that it was still at the Uffizi, but can't confirm link to said facebook page — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.137.197.7 (talk) 05:04, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Painting caption questioned
I notice a painting is captioned in English 'Watelet confronts the Venus de Medici'. I question whether 'confronts' is the correct word as he does not appear from his article to be opposed to sculptures like this; might not the correct word be 'contemplates', as he is depicted looking at the statuette while otherwise reading a book on the desk before him. There is a French inscription which describes the picture more fully but as I am not fluent in French I do not know how it fully translates.Cloptonson (talk) 07:12, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
