Tomás Yepes

  • ... that although Tomás Yepes was a prominent painter during his lifetime in the Kingdom of Valencia, he was only mentioned in a publication of wide circulation over a century after his death? Source: "Therefore his name was known and esteemed in Valencia, where his prestige was to last the following century, though he would not appear in a publication of wider circulation until 1800." [1] Page 141.

  • Expansion, date, hook checks out. Copyvio spotcheck showed no violations. Seemingly the first DYK nomination, so no QPQ needed. What about adding one of his painting as image, like File:Vanitas Tomás Yepes.jpg? --Soman (talk) 10:57, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

ALT1: ... that although Tomás Yepes was a prominent painter (painting pictured) during his lifetime in the Kingdom of Valencia, he was only mentioned in a publication of wide circulation over a century after his death?
Thank you for your review Soman. Would this be all right? — The Most Comfortable Chair 14:09, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
for ALT1, great, thanks. --Soman (talk) 14:12, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
  • Hi, I came by to promote this. Please add page numbers to the book sources. The hook is rather dull and the image chosen is downright dark. I suggest writing a different hook about his flower paintings and using the image in the infobox, which shows up best at thumbnail size. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 19:46, 6 September 2020 (UTC)

  • ALT2: ... that the painter Tomás Yepes (work pictured) settled a lawsuit brought on by his elder sister with delivery of a few religious paintings?
  • ALT3: ... that flower paintings (example pictured) by Tomás Yepes are considered to be distinctive and incomparable to other bodegón painters of the time?
Hello Yoninah, I have used the sfn referencing format and there are page numbers for book sources in the "Citations" sub-section. Wikipedia does have one religious painting by him but it is of low quality so I did not use that for ALT2. Thank you. — The Most Comfortable Chair 20:21, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the page numbers. ALT2 is a great hook! @Soman: would you mind reviewing ALT2? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 20:25, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
  • for ALT2, i tried to check with snippet view, seems that the mentions of the lawsuit is there. --Soman (talk) 11:28, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
