Nymphenburg

edit

The picture of the palace of Nymphenburg is very dark and does not show well the chinoiserie. Besides the lay out of the article became very complex, but I think, it looks better now and it is easier to edit. Taksen (talk) 21:56, 29 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Where or what is the definition provided by the American Heritage Dictionary? I like to read it. By the way, your lay out is boring! Chinoiserie is mend to be spectacular. I think you are missing the point. There is enough room on the server for bigger pictures, thy are stored somewhere else. Dont be too careful. Taksen (talk) 06:59, 30 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Rococo architecture.

edit

Someone tried to drop a category, as it was not supported by the text, according to him. But the article tells us: "The popularity of chinoiserie peaked around the middle of the 18th century, when it was easily assimilated into rococo by the works of François Boucher." Then there are these pictures of Chinoiserie on buildings. How can we stop those people, who seem to have no particular knowledge on the subject? Taksen (talk) 17:59, 11 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

In the section "Tea" I have linked Queens Mary II and Anne. I intended to link Henrietta Howard and the Duchess of Queensbury, but I find that in each case there are two possibilities. Can someone identify them? J S Ayer (talk) 20:21, 15 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

I'd guess Henrietta Howard, Countess of Suffolk (died 1715), but the whole passage seems confused - Queens Mary and Anne mostly collected Japanese export porcelain, & lived at a significantly earlier period than that referred to just before. You've linked the wrong Anne, & link Queen Anne not "Queen Anne". Johnbod (talk) 01:46, 16 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

Good catch, now fixed. The article says they weren't precise about the Far East. Have linked one of the later ladies, but there is no article about the Countess of Ilchester. J S Ayer (talk) 05:26, 16 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
