The portrait is not of Claudine

[edit]

People keep adding the image Portrait of a Young Fiancée attributed to Leonardo as if it were a portrait of Claudine. It was used as a substitute for Claudine in an article on Monaco, but it has nothing to do with the Grimaldis and is probably a portrait of Bianca Sforza. Please stop adding it here. -- Elphion (talk) 23:16, 4 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Portrait of Charles I of Monaco? I doubt it

[edit]

The very grainy photo of a painting given here as that of Charles I of Monaco cannot possibly be that of any person of that era, unless it isn't contemporary. The style is that of about 300 years later, which would be obvious from comparison with other portraiture of that time. Even if it were an attempt to depict a person of the 1350s executed circa 1650 or later, I doubt the subject would have been depicted in costume of the 17th century, as I think the habit of portraying historical figures anachronistically (for example, portraying biblical figures in medieval or Renaissance costume) had long since ended. If this is a portrait of anybody named Charles, it's more likely Charles II ... of England. It's anachronistic, out of place, and almost certainly wrong, so I'm removing it. If anybody can show how it's an accurate portrayal, feel free to restore it. MarkVolundNYC (talk) 06:13, 24 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
