Talk:Ambrogio Bergognone

Confusion of names

Bergognone ist NOT Borgognone! "Il Borgognone" was a painter of the 17th century: Jacques Courtois (St. Hippolyte 1621 - 1675 Rom) was also called Le Bourguignon or Il Borgognone or Giacomo Cortese/Cortesi. Confusing: Also his younger brother Guillaume was occasionally called "Borgognone".
And more confusion: Even the journalist Chisholm in the EncBrit from 1911 (see link under references) confused the names listing Ambrogio da Fossano/Bergognone under the entry "Borgognone"...
And what's more: "His appellation is attributed to his artistic affiliation with the Burgundian School". That's nonsense adopted from Chisholm and should be removed. The "Burgundian School" was a group of composers and musicians (14th century) and had nothing to do with painting. Bergognone signed some of his works with Ambrosio de Fossano dicto Brecognono, bregognono o bergognono. Breco-/brego- is clearly not cognate with borgo- (Burgundy); Fossano and Bergognone were also names of lombardic families in his region. ThomasMore52 (talk) 11:55, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
