Hi, I'll review this article. FunkMonk (talk) 23:01, 29 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Is it possible to update the image with a more high res version?
The image page could need a better description template.
" In line with Müller's advice, Jovanović avoids creating a sentimental work" It seems a bit odd that the tense changes to present for much of the rest of the article, after being past tense in the background section.
"are reminiscent of images of the lamentation over the body of Christ." You could link Lamentation of Christ.
Perhaps mention if the artist made similar works later? If so, they could perhaps be shown?
No known preparatory sketches or alternate versions?
Since the article title is English, I'd assume that version should be shown first, with the Serbian title in parenthesis, if that is the common English name.
The intro seems a bit short. A couple more lines could maybe be good to beef it up, perhaps more summarising of background.
Perhaps a photo of the painter under background?
Was the painting influential in any way?

Thanks for taking the time, FunkMonk. Will address your comments tomorrow. 23 editor (talk) 19:56, 3 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

You there, 23 editor? FunkMonk (talk) 18:57, 10 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Yes, just busy in real life. I've addressed some of your points and am in the middle of addressing the rest. 23 editor (talk) 01:23, 11 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Ok, just notify me when you're done, 23 editor. I will review your other article when this one is going somewhere. FunkMonk (talk) 14:51, 15 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

All done, I think. I haven't been able to find any sketches online or sources suggesting other versions. Was the painting influential? Depends what you mean. It secured the artist a contract with an important art gallery and is considered one of his best orientalist works. I wouldn't say it had a palpable impact on contemporary artists (especially Western ones), nor can I find any sources to that effect. 23 editor (talk) 01:46, 19 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Looks good to me now, so will pass. Happy you could find a larger version of the image (I couldn't when I looked). FunkMonk (talk) 14:36, 19 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
