[edit] Talk merged from Old Centaur and Young Centaur

These are the Furietti Centaurs: dividing them into two articles, under obscure names has no defensible rationale. They were conceived as a pair, perhaps both ridden by cupids and illustrating the pleasures and frustrations of love, in youth and in maturity. How can they be considered separately? --Wetman 16:21, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Well, the Louvre one is only highly likely to have once had a (now-lost) pair, not certain, but I take your point and will instigate a merger, and then can you add something about Furietti? I hadn't heard of him til now, and whenever they're referred to separately in UK museums (eg the label for the casts of them at the Courtauld) or academe, "Old Centaur" and "Young Centaur" are the commonly accepted titles, nothing obscure about it.
