On your false attribution of the paragraph in Alessandro Algardi
You erroneously attribute the paragraph in Algardi to some quizlet site; the paragraph reads:

"The subject was apt for a papal state seeking to increase its power, since it depicts the historical legend wherein Saint Leo the Great, the first pope to receive the epithet, with supernatural aid, deterred the Huns from looting Rome. From a baroque standpoint it is a moment of divine intervention in the affairs of man. Algardi's patron's message through the relief would be that all viewers should be sternly reminded of the papal capacity to invoke divine retribution against enemies."

That is false. It was not plagiarized. I wrote it. Quizlet, whatever that site is, took it from here and from me. That site freely quotes wikipedia. You need to be more careful in your assertions. I wrote the paragraph to reflect various assessments on the topic. The work itself had a large influence in baroque relief sculpture. It is the frontispiece of Bruce Boucher's monograph of "Italian Baroque Sculpture", and he aptly points out in pages 152-153 how the topic was already influentially depicted by Raphael in the stanza. However, for most Wikipedia readers the reason for utilizing this topic for a prominent St Peter's altar needs elucidation. I am replacing the paragraph. Citations for the paragraph can be attributed to Boucher and other authors.Rococo1700 (talk) 03:01, 2 December 2022 (UTC)


 * My apologies. You might consider adding the citation that was requested for your work instead of leaving it to the likes of me. Mbaugher (talk) 03:16, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
