Date and length hook OK. AGF on offline source. No close para, QPQ done, picture licence fine. Good to go. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 10:40, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
- Note that the image was promoted to featured picture status a couple of days ago. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 22:23, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
- Is there any way to lighten the image? It's really hard to see at 100px. Yoninah (talk) 22:04, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
- NO. Image is Featured picture, and it has the right kind of sources, sghowing it does look like this. Hafspajen (talk) 22:23, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
- Also the painter lived in the Barock era, and lots
and
lots
of his paintings
are dark. We don't manipulate paintings because it is a featured picture criteria. Hafspajen (talk) 22:26, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
- Also, Baroque art is characterized by dramatic, deep dark and rich, colouring with intense highlights, and very very dark shadows, like The Nightwatch by Rembrandt , Francesco Trevisani - Apollo and Daphne
,
and such.Hafspajen (talk) 22:38, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
- The trend is called Chiaroscuro, and we will not lighten paintings or manipulate them in any way. Hafspajen (talk) 22:53, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
- A lot of paintings are difficult to use at 100px. Perhaps a detail could be created, just for the nom? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:12, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
