Talk:Renaissance architecture in Central and Eastern Europe

The title of the article is False

The main problem: Poland and Hungary are not Eastern European countries. They are Central European countries. Eastern Europe means Orthodox Europe. The text of the article will be deleted until the renaming of the article.

This is the English version of Wikipedia, and to the best of my knowledge, in the US and UK, Poland and Hungary are nearly always referred to as part of "Eastern Europe"; we don't generally refer to a "Central Europe". (And "Orthodox" refers to Orthodox Catholicism, not geography.)

The article Eastern Europe states the following: "The term is highly context-dependent and even volatile, as there are 'almost as many definitions of Eastern Europe as there are scholars of the region'. ["The Balkans", Global Perspectives: A Remote Sensing and World Issues Site. Wheeling Jesuit University/Center for Educational Technologies, 1999-2002.]"

Perhaps I'm wrong, but I'll leave that judgment to registered users from the US and UK, not banned user Celebration1981 using anonymous IPs to sock. Cheers, Rico402 (talk) 16:28, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

In any case, a dispute over what delineates "Eastern Europe" doesn't justify deleting the whole article. That's not just peevish and petty, it's gross and patent vandalism. Rico402 (talk) 05:40, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Article being split

For anyone still watching this page or still interested in this article, just letting you know that it is being split.

It appears that this article has only been developed sporadically since 2010 and deals primarily with Central European Renaissance architecture, hence the relevant sections have been split to be developed further in a new Renaissance architecture in Central Europe article. This means that only Russian architecture of the period will remain on this page. Best attempts will be made to leave more than a stub here.

If you have any opinions, be they positive or objections, please state your case here ASAP.

It has been suggested that this article be merged into Renaissance architecture

The Renaissance architecture in Eastern Europe it's maybe 1% of the Renaissance architecture, so the merege means omitting.

This article should show the value (or lack of it) of the Renaissance architecture in Eastern Europe.Xx236 (talk) 06:50, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

Aleviz Novyi, or Alevisio Lamberti di Montagnana

Hello,

I recently read a book called « The Land Between Two Seas » edited by Alina Payne. In it, Tatiana Sizonenko shows that Aleviz Novyi is in fact the Venetian sculptor Alevisio Lamberti di Montagnana. Her evidence is correspondence between the Crimean Khan at the time (whose name alludes me) and Ivan III. Alevisio was kidnapped en route to Muscovy by forces of the Khan, and made to work on the Khan’s palace in Bakhchysarai. The surviving work is the Iron Gate of the palace. Upon completing his work in Bakhchysarai, the Khan wrote to the Grand Duke, commending and further recommending the architect Alevisio. Further evidence from Sizonenko is the seashells prominent on the Catherdral of Archangel Michael. A staple of Venetian sculpture, the sea shells also show up in a church designed by Alevisio Lamberti in the Montagnana region.

I don’t have the book with me anymore, so I apologize if anything I’ve wrote here is inaccurate. I would be happy to edit this page and Alevisio’s wiki page if necessary. 2600:1008:B044:7B9B:FCB5:8119:DFA6:8D4F (talk) 17:40, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
