Talk:The Holy Infants Embracing

This article had some unsourced information and the lead image itself was sourced to the Museo di Capodimonte. I uploaded and linked their version, which is not the lead image, but one of many copies by Joos van Cleve and considered by at least one source to be a copy after a lost original by Da Vinci. That said, I also followed up on the source for the image, which links back to an old 2011 blog that is reachable via the wayback machine. It seems to be a self-made photo after an older painting, and that is itself probably legit, as Joos van Cleve is know for at least 12 copies. Further analysis shows the site links to a presentation about this lost work of Leonardo, and that includes unsourced information with images that do line up with actual documented paintings. In summary, the article is not about a specific existing painting, but about a lost painting that has been regularly documented and copied multiple times. It would be nice to track down the painting used as an illustration, which is unfortunately not a complete image either, but just a detail image. Jane (talk) 20:04, 27 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
