Article evaluation
The article titled Renaissance Revival Architecture discusses the transformation of Neo-Renaissance architecture through out Europe to the current day architectural monuments that still exist. The article describes the revival's influence from both Gothic and Baroque architectural themes of visual construction. There is a quick mention of mannerism and it's influence/ transition to baroque style art is not fully described though Neo-renaissance is said to be a culmination of various styles of architecture. I believe that could have been added to this article. There were various examples of architecture to better showcase the stylistic and thematic visuals seen in French, Italian, English and German buildings. At the end of the article it sheds light on the "legacy" of Neo-renaissance and its transition with Soviet Russia and the rise of totalitarian architecture. I feel as though this last statement could have been removed because it is now discussing a different form of architectural style.

The tone of this article was neutral. There was no personal bias in regards to which stylistic influence was better than another or the architectural preference (i.e Villa Farnese vs Wurzburg Residenz). There is an under-representation of the current "legacy" of Neo-renaissance architecture. There are two examples used and one is referencing totalitarian architecture. There could have been more information in that section to strengthen the content of Neo-renaissance influence in current day architectural planning of cities.

The link associated with the Chateau de Chambord is no longer active. The link for Blois briefly states that the spiral staircase design was a basic stylistic feature of Gothic architecture. There isn't a substantial amount of information to truly use this website as a source. The same can be said about the site for Hotel de Ville. The subtitle for the site states that the content is based on the best cities around the world which lessens the credibility due to the selection of certain cities. There is no in depth information pertaining to the main subject matter of the article. Behind the scenes there is a short discussion about the broad topic selected which has made it hard to determine if the revival is for current architectural design or for the past (after gothic style ended), This article was given a B rating and is within the Wiki Project Architecture.
