Catherine de' Medici


I like the detail, and the image demonstrates the article's statements about her impact on fashion when she banned "thick waists at court attendance" and popularized the corset.

 * Nominate and support. Mooveeguy 14:24, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Image page has no information. Who painted this?  Is it a portrait from life? I don't think it should be considered without information ~ Veledan • Talk 14:29, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Tentative oppose Due to fact that neither image page here nor the main image description on commons has source info. If this changes I'll certainly be willing to reconsider. Pegasus1138 Talk  04:54, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose I dont really like photographs of pictures, I don't think thats really what a FP should be. If this is detail from a larger painting I might be swayed. -Ravedave 23:49, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. As I smack my forehead, I must agree; knowing who painted the image is necessary.  I've left a message for the user who uploaded the image to Commons, and in the future, I will ride out the peer review process before nominating anything. Mooveeguy 13:52, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. No definitive word yet, but one of the art experts at allexperts.com thinks it is ca. 1555 by Agnolo Bronzino (| see similar work by him). I'm trying to research and verify before time runs out...  Mooveeguy 17:21, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
 * NB: feel free to renominate straight away if you find the info rather too late to add it here ~ Veledan • Talk 16:29, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the suggestion; I will keep researching and try to get the info to support a renomination. I'm still learning how things work around here. Mooveeguy 19:14, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
