 * Symbol confirmed.svg I think the hook needed commas before "who" and after "Uffizi", to set off that phrase, and have so changed it.  Let me know if you disagree.  Hook length is fine, hook interest level is good, and hook fact is verified by a matching up of three online sources.  Article creation and DYK filing dates check out.  Article length is fine.  I don't see any problem with disambig links or non-working external links.  Neutrality, quality of sources, and frequency of inline sourcing are all fine.  Images are both centuries old and not in copyright.  Article text closely tracks sources in some places but not to the level of copyvio or excessively close paraphrasing.  As far as I'm concerned, this is good to go.  Wasted Time R (talk) 13:15, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
