Britomart Redeems Faire Amoret

Britomart Redeems Faire Amoret
Britomart Redeems Faire Amoret
  • ... that Britomart Redeems Faire Amoret (pictured) illustrates the virtues of honour and chastity through the depiction of occultism, partial nudity, violent death and implied sexual torture?
  • Reviewed: Ipswich Road, Colchester
  • Comment: Ideally save this one until there's a picture slot free even if it means a delay, as this hook only makes sense if people can see that this is a painting we're talking about. –

  • Length, age, neutrality, QPQ, all fine; No copyvio, close paraphrasing, evil copying etc. Picture is PD and just about discernible at DYK size. Hook would be OK, but I'm not sure that there is an "implied sexual torture"; sure, it is in the Faerie Queene, but the body of the article implies that Etty went out of his way to avoid that reference, and it is only in the lede that you state there is " strongly implied sexual torture". And nothing to do with DYK: Busirane = Techno Viking?. Belle (talk) 11:32, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

iridescent points out, it really needs it for context (plus how many pictures of positive female role models do we show in DYK? Catch you later; I'm off to slaughter a wizard; come here, Harry Potter, this won't hurt a bit). Belle (talk
