Spelling of the subject's name
editIs there a reason why the name of the sitter is spelled "Balthasar" when the title of the image is "Baldassare"? The link to the Louvre gives the spelling "Baldassare" and this is also the way it is spelled in John Pope-Hennessy's The Portrait in the Renaissance (Phaidon, 1966 p.116). Is it perhaps an effort to Anglicise the name? If so, I don't think it is necessary and it would be better for the article heading to use the same spelling as in the image and the texts.

- I wondered the same, especially given the Wikipedia article on Baldassare Castiglione, and that all the art books I find spell it 'Baldassare'. Is there any reason not to move this to a consistent spelling? JNW (talk) 21:17, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
- It's been about a week without response so I'm assuming silent consent - so I've taken the liberty of moving the page - being BOLD :-) Feel free to revert me if this is controversial. Wittylama 09:46, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
