Uniqueness as a publisher

Latest comment: 11 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I have cut "Strozzi is unique among both male and female composers for publishing her works in single-composer volumes, rather than in collections" which was uncited and clearly untrue as written. As I have no access to the sources, I cannot check what might have been meant. Perhaps missing "in 17th century Venice"? She certainly wasn't even the only female baroque composer to publish in this way - eg see Élisabeth Jacquet de La Guerre. Davidships (talk) 21:24, 30 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

Citation please

' Strozzi was highly sensitive to the subliminal meaning in her texts, and, as is the case with Arcangela Tarabotti, the texts she set often hinted at underlying issues regarding gender.'

Citation to support this assertion, please. 121.44.29.41 (talk) 22:51, 15 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Infobox painting: remove?

Latest comment: 25 days ago7 comments4 people in discussion

An editor recently disputed the legitimacy of the painting, believing it to not be of Strozzi. Online sourcing and the Wikipedia:STATUSQUO suggest that this likely depicts Strozzi. Is there anything to go against this claim? @Mariavanaalst Donnie ⓃⓄⓋⒶ 14:04, 20 October 2026 (UTC)Reply

You and your friends are stalking me. You edited my changes the second they were published. Mariavanaalst (talk) 14:11, 20 October 2026 (UTC)Reply

Editors are going out of their way to give you an opportunity to support your changes. Is this really the response you want to go with? Celjski Grad (talk) 14:34, 20 October 2026 (UTC)Reply

@Mariavanaalst Let's stop with the conspiracy theories. You tripped a filter that detects when edits probably need reviewing. Donnie ⓃⓄⓋⒶ 19:52, 20 October 2026 (UTC)Reply

There are quite a few scholarly and published sources that discuss this painting and the likelihood of its subject, including Grove Music Online, a definitive music encyclopedia published by musicologists. The article states: "The Genoese Bernardo Strozzi painted a portrait of Barbara Strozzi and by 1639 he had made a copy of it for a Venetian patron. The Female Musician with Viola da Gamba (now in the Gemäldegalerie, Dresden) is most likely Strozzi’s original portrait of the composer."

A noble woman would never have her picture painted in this way. It would have been a scandal. She had royal friends. She is blonde and has not red curly hair in the other portraits. Mariavanaalst (talk) 20:05, 20 October 2026 (UTC)Reply
