Picture of the day

Portrait of Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier and his Wife is a double portrait of the French chemist Antoine Lavoisier and his wife and collaborator Marie-Anne. Commissioned from the French painter Jacques-Louis David in 1788 for 7,000 livres, the portrait remained in the family until 1924, when it was acquired by John D. Rockefeller. Since 1977, it has been held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.Painting: Jacques-Louis David

Portrait of Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier and his Wife → Portrait of Antoine Laurent Lavoisier and Marie Anne Lavoisier – Title should conform to title provided by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where the painting is held. https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/436106 Owunsch (talk) 20:02, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So "Antoine Laurent Lavoisier (1743–1794) and His Wife (Marie Anne Pierrette Paulze, 1758–1836)"? (I notice neither of those has a hyphen in it.) —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 04:08, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The hyphens and middle names are used inconsistently in the various authority records (e.g. ISNI, Library of Congress, and BnF all provide different versions), though all seem to include a hyphen in Marie-Anne. For recognizability, precision, and concision, I would propose the following title: "Portrait of Antoine and Marie-Anne Lavoisier." This title clearly identifies the subject, and it includes the identities of both figures, in keeping with the Metropolitan Museum of Art's approach (and recognizing their equal prominence in the painting itself).

Please note that "Antoine Laurent Lavoisier (1743–1794) and His Wife (Marie Anne Pierrette Paulze, 1758–1836)" is also from the Metropolitan Museum of Art. That is why I mentioned it. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 22:56, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support move to Portrait of Antoine and Marie-Anne Lavoisier. This seems to tick all the boxes. Andrewa (talk) 20:26, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
