A few ideas to improve this article:

• Include more pictures
• Break the "Life" section down into numerous sections (early life, career, late life, family, etc.)
• Utilize more sources
• Give far greater detail to the information that is already there
• Reword some of the sentences to ensure clarity
• Make the "lead section" longer

• Benvenuto di Giovanni, Girolamo di Benvenuto: their altarpieces in the J. Paul Getty Museum. And a summary catalogue of their paintings in America (book by Burton B. Fredericksen and Darrell D. Davisson)

I plan on having more sources, but this is what I have compiled so far. Tsd14 (talk) 17:26, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

Peer Review and Copy Edit

Hi Tsd14, here is my review of your article:

Lead Section: I think that your lead section is very strong. It concisely highlights who this person was, it answers: who, what, when,... I would maybe include a brief 'where' sentence in the lead, something more specific than just Italy.

Sensible Structure: Your article has a clearly defined structure based on the contents box. I think the current structure is logical, but as you add more information I would add more subcategories, similar to how you have sub headings for works that you expand on.

Neutral Content: Your content is encyclopedic and overall neutral, which is required for a wiki article.

Reliable Sources: The one thing I did notice is that your references section does not match with the in-text citations. For example, in-text citations are numerical but when you scroll down to your reference section, they are alphabetical. Thus, I am unable to distinguish which in-text citation corresponds to which reference.

Overall, I think your article is well written. I did not catch any glaring spelling or grammar mistakes. I think that you could definitely include more pictures to spice up the page's visual components. ArtStor is a great place to get copyright-free images. I liked the incorporation of the table because it presents information in a very clear way. This is something I might consider adding to my own article.

Hope this helps! Taylorracioppi (talk) 03:33, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
