Talk:Giorgione

message: In editing thus far, I found that the paragraph-long sentence detailing his early commissions reads better as a series of sentences. The mention of different critics' assessments is, I believe, an outdated reference--sounds like much of the rest, as if copied from the century-old entry from Brittanica.JNW 15:19, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm no expert, but has "Portrait of Warrior with his Equerry" (estimated 1509) perhaps been attributed to Cavazzola (new estimation 1518-22)? See for example http://www.wga.hu/frames-e.html?/html/c/cavazzol/warrior.html which states: "Formerly the picture has been ascribed to the last activity of Giorgione, dead in 1510."  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.209.88.226 (talk) 00:02, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I have found this article to contain substantial amounts of relevant information on Giorgione with a good balance of text in each of the sections 'Life', 'Works' and 'Attributions'; the section of 'Legacy', in comparison, is much shorter. The information is clearly structured and coherent within the article using clear headings, sub-headings and some of Giorgione's works have also been selected to be presented in the 'Gallery' section. 
However, several changes pertaining to the referencing and citations can further improve the overall quality of the article. Not every fact presented in the article has been explicitly referenced. For instance, in presenting Giorgione's biographical information, only his birth, death and nationality are cited. While it is possible that much of the biographical information came from the same source and thus the information presented after the initial facts have not been cited, it is preferable to indicate that the information derives from the same source and refer back to the initial citation. In addition, there are many explicit textual references to Vasari throughout the article without any link to citations; although from what I discern the tone of the article remains neutral, this runs the risk of over-representing his viewpoint and creating bias in a objective article.
Existing citations in the article are from various sources including online encyclopedias, JSTOR, press release, academic articles from various organizations of art and museum websites. Some of these sources, such as JSTOR and in particular the academic articles, which have been published by institutions such as the Royal Academy of Arts London and the National Gallery of Art, can be deemed to be reliable as they generally hold authority in the field of visual arts. On the other hand, sources such as press releases and museum websites are less reliable and this impinges on the credibility of the article as a whole. Upon checking select references, no close paraphrasing was found, however, many of the links are no longer functional and need to be updated, such as reference [5] to Burlington Magazine, [6] to JSTOR, and [9] to Encyclopedia Britannica. Not all of the ISBN numbers for journal articles have been provided either. This can be problematic as the reliability of the information presented in the article then becomes questionable.

message: I've just added in the death notice and related news articles in to this page as I've just made the source to digitised content available today. This new information actually impacts the top part of the page as the death notice discovered indicates he died aged 36, not 30 as indicated on page. USydKim 10:10, 25 February 2019 (AEST)
:This, and the library link, is interesting, but I'd propose to wait until after it is properly published in the March 2019 issue of The Burlington Magazine, and seeing reaction to that before changing. For now, I'll just expand the range to include 36. Johnbod (talk) 01:52, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
thread_title: New Age at death

message: A previous editor had 1477/78, citing Gould, which I have not been able to check. I added 1476, citing Nichols, which I own. But, obviously, what should be cited is Vasari's 1550 edition. Does anyone have access to it? If someone can tell us what Vasari said in that edition, then we can drop the cite to Gould and to Nichols. Maurice Magnus (talk) 19:42, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: We should still cite Nichols if he's correcting Vasari. Ewulp (talk) 23:44, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the current format is fine. Kemp and Peter Humfrey give 1477–8 . It would be dubious to act like we know the exact year—and it should probably be written as 1476–78, the slashes are just cruft. Aza24 (talk) 01:00, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

text: Indeed. I added the Gould, which is as stated, though obviously that's a bit old now.  But I think nothing has changed. The vasari will be online in Italian. Johnbod (talk) 02:11, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

message: The third paragraph under "Life" states, "released the art from the last shackles of archaic rigidity and placed it in possession of full freedom and the full mastery of its means." Can someone translate that into English? Art cannot have "mastery of its means." I can't edit it because I don't know what it is trying to say. Maurice Magnus (talk) 09:59, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Looks like it was taken from a very old (public domain) source, with not much rephrasing. Now removed. Ceoil (talk) 10:08, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
