Question - why is the painting of Clement 12 on this page? Isn't this an article on Clement 13? -lg
In spite of the confusing misnaming of the Image, this is indeed the plump Rezzonico pope, Clement XIII, in Pompeo Batoni's portrait in Galleria Venezia, Rome. His profile appears on a medal struck in his honour: illustrated here. He might be mistaken for his predecessor Benedict XIV, but never for the lean-faced, sharp-chinned Clement XII. Some generous soul might enter the painter's name into the template: I don't know how, and template-makers never think of such details. --Wetman 07:47, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Rampant nepotism?
"Rezzonico was notorious for his rampant nepotism throughout his pontificate." A version of this statement appeared in the lede back in 2004 and has since slipped into the body of the article. I can't find any evidence for this in the sources or other mention of nepotism in the article, so I'm taking it out. Tigerboy1966 10:05, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
