[edit] Merge?
No, don't bother suggesting it. This is a Top Importance article that simply doesn't exist. I'm about to write it and it will be 2 million megabytes long. Neeed coffeee! --Amandajm 08:15, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Proto-Renaissance, 1290-1335.
Just one question, since somebody will inevitably ask: what about 1335–1400? We can't just blame the Black Death for everything or fall back on Latent Gothic, and we should be able to account for Orcagna, the Spanish Chapel at Santa Maria Novella and the frescoes at the Camposanto in Pisa. And that's just painting (which is this topic). Those are all very much a part of any survey of the Italian Renaissance, and I'd vote with rounding Proto up to the end of the century since what happens after 1400 is completely different. Just a suggestion... --Stomme 10:55, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

- Yeah, OK!

- Clutter! re your discussion page -- are you referring to my poetic prose by any chance? You lay hands on my descriptions and I'll be mortally wounded. How about you start with the intro and add whatever you think is necessary. mais is working on a summary of Florence at the beginning of the quattrocento.

- You wanna do Spanish Chapel, and so on, or is that me? The question is, can you imitate my poetic style, or are you going to shove in crudities like "roughly translated"?
- We also need some Historiography. How do we know so much about some of these guys and so little about others? What are the sources? Which painters have reliable biographies? To whhat extent is Vasari reliable? Ghiberti is one artist who can be tracked through official documents, including tax statements etc. This could be enormous if we're not ccareful.

Thinks: I hope this person realises I'm joking!
[edit] Sources
Are you writing all of this from memory? This is shaping up to be a good article, but it will need sources, both inline and a bibliography, to achieve its full potential. I would have thought it would be easier to source as you go, but it seems you're almost done now. I may go and get a few books out to start sourcing it. mais (talk) 13:08, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Charming addition to the article

[edit] Vasari
I personally think this article should mention Vasari's role in dividing up the Renaissance into different periods and also note his role in increasing the stature of certain artists, though I could conceivably see such things being better suited for an art history article. What do you all think? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Weygander (talk • contribs) 04:36, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
