Evaluate the drafted changes
I agree this is a difficult article to improve! I do think your idea of delving into the history section could be a solid start since that section is currently pretty short. But I think overall it'll be best to focus your efforts on writing about his gallery.

The art section in the existing article is already pretty solid, but it doesn't mention much about his gallery. Either expanding the art section or creating a new section specific to the gallery could be the best approach here. We talked quite a bit about it in class, but some things that come to mind rn are:


 * The artworks in the gallery themselves, and their themes
 * Intended to be a "greatest hits" of Italian artists, but ended up being all Venetian artists
 * Had Giovanni Bellini's last work, "Feast of the Gods"
 * Mythological paintings - this was a relatively new concept at the time
 * Themes of wine, etc.
 * The placement /layout of the artworks
 * Created a somewhat competitive environment by placing similar paintings next to each other in a room
 * Commissioned very similar paintings from different artists, so that they could be contrasted by onlookers
 * The function of the gallery
 * Would open gallery to the public every now and then for the public to view the art pieces

My last suggestion would be to try to find a few new images of how some of the pieces were laid out to supplement the info about the gallery. I think Prof. Cranston had some in her slides so maybe you could use those!
