I am looking for a picture by Tintoretto, depicting the Rape of Europe. Anybody could help?

[edit] Titian, "Rape of Europa"
You will find the Titian, "Rape of Europa" oil on canvas, 6'1" x 6'9" in the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston, Massachusetts.
It is also found on page 315 of a college text that comes with a CD of the contents:
Wilkins, David G., Schultz, Bernie, & Linduff, Katheryn M. (2005) "Art Past, Art Present" (5th ed.). Upper Saddle River, New Jersey: Pearson Prentice Hall.
[edit] Naming
Interchanging Robusti and Tintorreto is very confusing. I would suggest all uses revert to Tintorreto, as this is the commonly used name; this is certainly the custom. Mentioning his real name at the top is sufficient as an additional fact about his life.--Rob2000 10:51, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] External link to www.cheapvenice.com/tintoretto-house.htm
I see that there is an edit war over this link right now. Although the link is more than a little commercial in nature, I think it probably is notable enough to be included in this article. That's my opinion, at least. --Mdwyer 18:49, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
- I can't find any good photographs of Tintoretto's house withouy an advert on it. Hardly any pages nowadays come without adverts somewhere. If somebody can find the same pictures elsewhere without adverts then they should replace it with that web site. Personally, I don't find adverts at the bottom of a page so terrifying. --DavidLeslie 19:14, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Books
Also, I have set the headings to Further reading and External links as specified at Wikipedia:Guide_to_layout#Further_reading
- "Changed headings to match WP:MOS PLEASE discuss on talk page before changing again." Nowhere does it say there that listed books must be headed "further reading". One of the encyclopedia links is further reading as well, and also an external link. Other external links are not further reading. So "Books" and "Web sites" (or External links) satisfies all requirements without causing the sightest problem. Fussing over the word "book" as if it is a four letter word is remarkably petty. --DavidLeslie 19:14, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
- Actually, it says exactly that. "Certain optional standard sections should be added at the bottom of an article." That sentence defines the existence of standard headings. A little farther down it says what goes in the sections: "Put under [Further reading], again in a bulleted list, any books ... that you recommend as further reading" --Mdwyer 19:21, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
