Which article are you evaluating?
17th-century French art

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I picked this article because I was looking for articles to add citations to as part of the other assignment for this week.

Evaluate the article
This article has quite a bit of information on it, but no citations which is a major issue. It has a "further reading" section, but that does not really tell anybody if that is where all of the information came from or if it comes from other sources. It looks like this article has not seen a lot of edits and the talk page is blank, so it would be a good place for someone to start editing, especially because the topic is well researched outside Wikipedia.

Lead: I found the lead to be a little confusing. It says that 17th Century Art is generally known as Baroque, but then goes on in a kind of confusing sentence about other art styles. I think this could maybe be turned in to multiple sentences.

Content: I think that a lot of the content is connected to topics from other articles. It all seems relevant to the topic, I just think that this article could be a lot more fleshed out. It mentions Baroque, but then does not have a section on it. It has a section on architecture which could possibly be its own article rather than in this article.

Images: I think that more images would be really helpful for this article. There are really only two examples in this page and I don't think they cover everything that the page covered. 17th Century art is huge, so there are a lot of examples out there.
