klasicistní Explanation: Jsem si naprosto jistý, že žádná kamenná stavba nemůže nic ani nikoho klasicizovat. Oproti tomu "klasicistní" je běžné slovo, označující architekturu z období klasicismu. Čili naprosto suše "a classicist monument..." end sou on. |

built in the classicising style Explanation: It sounds ungainly, I know, but I have been assured that this is the correct translation and it comes up a lot. Plenty of references on the internet -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 23 days (2009-11-24 18:47:09 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- classicising - imitating a classical style http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/paintings/glossary/classic... (but not only of paintings) The Jewish cemetery in Třebíč certainly comes under this category. |
