Moïse Lévy de Benzion

[edit]

Moïse Lévy de Benzion's bookplate

  • ... that Nazi agents seized nearly one thousand works of art and other items from the Lévy de Benzion collection (bookplate illustrated) during the Second World War?

Created by Philafrenzy (talk), Edwardx (talk), Zigzig20s (talk), Gareth E Kegg (talk). Nominated by Philafrenzy (talk) at 11:28, 22 January 2015 (UTC).

  • New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen in online sources. Offline hook ref AGF and cited inline. Image is PD. Awaiting QPQ to complete nomination. Yoninah (talk) 21:30, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
  • Thanks. I have a small expansion to make and will then do the QPQ. Philafrenzy (talk) 21:35, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
  • Thank you. Everything looks good now. About the hook, Nazi regime is not an article link. Would you like to write "Nazi agents"? Also, how would you like to write the "(pictured)" inscription? Yoninah (talk) 15:39, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
  • Changed it to "Nazi agents". Is that OK? If by (pictured) you mean the bookplate, I wasn't sure whether to add (pictured) to the hook since it is not a picture of the subject. Philafrenzy (talk) 18:38, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
  • If you want to run a picture, you have to put something in the "(pictured)", like: the Lévy de Benzion collection (bookplate pictured), although the bookplate really has nothing to do with the objets d'art that were looted. Perhaps you'd like to use a different hook with the image of one of the beautiful paintings shown in the article? Yoninah (talk) 20:11, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
  • I have added "bookplate illustrated" and "other items" as he was a noted bibliophile too and the collection included books. I will also add an Alt shortly with a painting as an illustration. Philafrenzy (talk) 21:09, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

Alfred Sisley, The Port of Moret-sur-Loing, 1884.

  • Alt1 ... that Alfred Sisley's The Port of Moret-sur-Loing (1884) (pictured) was one of nearly 1000 items looted from the Lévy de Benzion collection by Nazi agents during the Second World War? Philafrenzy (talk) 22:20, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
  • Thank you. I really like that painting. ALT1 hook refs verified and cited inline. Image is PD. QPQ done. Both hooks are good to go, though I prefer ALT1. Yoninah (talk) 23:49, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
