Talk:Martin Schongauer

Interlanguage links
User:Johnbod has been expanding this article nicely, but for some reason he has removed the links to relevant articles in other languages again, without explaining why (the first time he said "don't let's have links to Russian articles please", the second time the deletion was described as "we really don't do this", and the third rather opaquely just "ce"), so here they are. We clearly do "do this" - otherwise the templates would not exist - but rather than joining in the edit warring, I will leave them here so others can decide whether it is helpful to the reader to give links to the useful articles we have in other languages, or pretend that we don't know anything. As I said before, perhaps the links will encourage someone to translate some of them. 213.205.198.203 (talk) 10:32, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Madonna in the Rose Garden (Schongauer) in Colmar (also an article in Spanish)
 * The Holy Family (Schongauer) in Vienna (also an article in Ukrainian, although the Russian version looks is better)
 * Dominican Church, Colmar (there is a nice German article too, and a shorter one in Spanish)
 * I'll add here the Unterlinden Convent (also an article in French; location of the Unterlinden Museum)
 * We really don't do it very often, especially in this version with a redlink. These days WP is no longer littered with redlinks as it once was. Why is the French "Couvent des Dominicains de Colmar" relevant? They happen to have moved a painting there in 1973, but it isn't (as far as I can see) the one for which MS painted an altarpiece. Equally, if people want to find out about the Unterlinden, they should start from that article. If we were going to add a whole lot of external links, the useful ones would be to entries on individual prints on the MET, BM and other websites, where they are good - I may yet add the BM biography myself.  Russian links should only be added, and then very sparingly, to topics with a strong Russian connection, which we don't have here. And then they should be added as notes, as I have added the Getty paeonies. "La Vierge au buisson de roses" looks excellent, I must say, though personally I'd rather have more articles on individual prints - so far there's just St Anthony.
