Ok, I consider myself OOC to have 0 ranks in the Info: Painting skill (Like Becca), but even I know who Manet is. Would it be reasonable to assume Becca does as well?
I'll kind of leave that up to you. As you pointed out, even someone with a 0 in Painting will know some names, and recognize some pictures. On the other hand, I would imagine that people growing up in the 6th world outside of corp schooling are probably going to be less well versed in arts and antiquities from the 5th world, though the church schooling that Becca got may be more likely to put some focus on that stuff -- hearkening back to an earlier era and all.
The other thing to keep in mind, is that "The surprised Nymph" is not one of Manet's better known pieces in our day, for whatever that's worth.
@Tecumseh, I think I remember reading somewhere that people with high IQs are actually more likely to buy into "batshit crazy" type beliefs because they can be so adept at justifying them. I think there can be a lot of truth to that. Also, happy 3 month anniversary for this game. Hope you guys are enjoying it. I know I'm having a good time.
