The Sirens and Ulysses
... that when it was first exhibited in 1837, The Sirens and Ulysses by William Etty (detail pictured) was described as "a disgusting combination of voluptuousness and loathsome putridity"?
- ALT1:... that The Sirens and Ulysses by William Etty (detail pictured) was described in 1837 as "a disgusting combination of voluptuousness and loathsome putridity"?
- Reviewed: 2015 McDonald's All-American Boys Game
- Comment: A detail included as the image rather than the whole thing, as at mainpage image size the whole painting will be too small to be visible. The three sirens are the main theme of the painting, as well as the voluptuousness in question.

The article is new (created on 10th February 2015), long and well-referenced. It is interesting and no close paraphrasing issues, copyvio or plagiarism was detected. Hook fact is accurate and cited with an inline citation in the article. However, I would suggest a shorter hook (for instance: ... that The Sirens and Ulysses by William Etty (detail pictured) was described as "a disgusting combination of voluptuousness and loathsome putridity"?).

- I'm neutral—I have a very slight preference for including the date to put it in some kind of context (nothing about TS&U would be considered shocking nowadays), but can see the argument for keeping it short. Either is fine. – iridescent 19:06, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
- Template:U, is ALT1 OK for you? Borsoka (talk) 19:20, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
- Sure, any of the three are fine. – iridescent 19:48, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
