Contradictions from spanish wiki

edit

there are differences in the two articles of Borgoña in english and spanish. spanish wiki says: he was born in 1468 or 1470. he died 1536. his birthcountry is either france or spain. they used the reference "The Grove Dictionary of Art, Macmillan Publishers Limited, 2000."

someone should compare the two books and articles. i put the link to the spanish wiki so yall can verify (im only translating and linking articles). if everything in spanish sounds correct, i can come back to translate that info here and vice versa (to expand both stubs). and spanish wiki has an external link that has more info to compare.

im sure spanish wiki is right on date of death (1536 not '34), cuz this article says he worked until 1536, but died in 1534. and if he was known by "Borgoña" or "Bourgogne", why would his son be "Burogunga"? and "joan" maybe should be "juan". it says he's junior, so he should have the same first and last name. i put the same contradictions between the two wikis in the discussion for the spanish article, so they can compare the two books too.

  • I have updated from the Prado catalogue, which says he was "seguramente de procedencia borgona" but that is more likely to mean from modern Belgium or Holland than France. If the Smith book has not been consulted for this, it should be in a further reading section, not the references one. Johnbod 19:56, 30 October 2007 (UTC)Reply
