Interesting artwork, covered in detail on fine sources, mostly offline and accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. The image is licensed and almost a must. The hook is fine! - In article and image caption or hook, it should become clearer which parts exactly were added, because for a while I understood that all we see pictured was 16th century. - Suggestions for the article which you can follow or not:
  • The first sentence is too long for my taste.
    • Done
  • I didn't understand "leaves from a Gospel" right away, - prefer the later "extract".
    • Done
  • If you go for GA, perhaps move the background from the lead to the body, and have only a summary of it in the lead.
  • The standard-bearer is not mentioned in the body, and has no ref in the lead. - That might be also good for a hook, btw.
  • The sequence of images in the description might be reversed, to show the "old" first.
  • In the now first, I see no Madonna with child.
    • clarified. ps, this image comes first because it shows the cross in the center, and the two of the 4 M~&C's (in reply to the sequence of images point above)
  • Is a museum a plural word, requiring "their"?
  • For the discussion of a translation, it would be nice to have the Latin also. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:32, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
    • ya, looking around. Ceoil (talk)
    • Thanks Gerda, working on these. If I find more on the standard-bearer aspect, will propose an ALT hook. Ceoil (talk) 19:56, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
      Thank you so much! I you want a different hook, I'll look again, but this is fine with me. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:02, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
      Great. Will ping you back here (prob tomorrow night) when happy all of the above have been sorted. Ceoil (talk) 22:22, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
