This should be renamed to Mariano Fortuny, the best known name of the artist. But an article with this name already exists, referred to his son Mariano, a fashion designer. I think useful to rename the son's article, a less relevant artist.--Joan sense nick 03:01, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] son is better known

It is better not to rename the son's article, as he is better known. Also, is the name of this painter really correct? Elsewhere I've seen him listed as Mariano Fortuny y Marsal. Crypticfirefly 20:31, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
