Architecture and sculpture

"he refuted Vitruvius' attachment to archaeological remains ..."

States the current article. No he did not, he may have criticised it. AnnaComnemna (talk) 02:35, 18 December 2017 (UTC)

Nickname

I can't find a single trustworthy source that explains how the nickname "El Greco" is Italian... I raised this complaint in the Spanish version of the article and no one payed much attention... The word Greco is Spanish, and seeing how it is preceded by the definite article "el", and seeing how El Greco's success was centered in Spain, it is most likely that the origins of the alias is Spanish...

"But the Spanish word for Greek is 'griego', not 'greco'..." The two words are synonyms (like the Netherlands and Holland). What happens is that most people who haven't read Siglo de Oro literature, even if their native language is Spanish, tend to have very wrong notions about the history of the language. Namely, they don't really get just how much the language has changed... So, while it is true that in an illiterate setting no Spanish speaker today uses the word "greco" meaning Greek, the word is in the DRAE. You may look it up. Latest edition.

And seeing how this word still exists even today, I think anyone who has read literature from El Greco's time (like, say, Don Quixote) won't have any trouble picturing the crazy, cool kids of the time preferring the demonym 'greco' instead of 'griego'. Then again what I'm pointing out is a matter of linguistic imagination. It is up to a historian to tell us where, as a matter of fact, did he get the nickname.

I suggest you read notes a and b. Johnbod (talk) 01:59, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

Well, I do use Misplaced Pages because I think old-fashioned encyclopedias make mistakes too. And notes a and b are from Encyclopedia Britannica. But EB never says the Spanish name for the painter would be "el griego" and not "el greco". This is factually incorrect. And I still think EB is wrong in general, but who am I to prove it?

Cornelia de Lange syndrome

It has been hypothesised that El Greco’s pictures include a child with Cornelia de Lange syndrome. It is only a hypothesis. JDAWiseman (talk) 22:24, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

WP:URFA/2020

There is a minor amount of uncited text, but considerable layout issues and MOS:SANDWICHing which should be addressed. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:30, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
