Original - Jacopo Tintoretto's c. 1571 painting of Sebastiano Venier, Doge of Venice, at the Battle of Lepanto

Reason: This fine art reproduction is large enough to make out most of the brush strokes, which I think is probably sufficient resolution, though I'd ideally wish for a little more. I don't think I need to defend this image beyond that. As you may have noticed, I'm trying to seek out a variety of historic artworks to add to the FPC variety while I work on my current projects. [E.T.A. ...I was uploading one of those other projects, and forgot I was long enough to nominate this. God, this cold is making me absolutely loopy.]
Articles in which this image appears: Sebastiano Venier, House of Venier. It has been in those articles for some time. If promoted - hence indicating others agree with my appreciation of this - I'd suggest adding it to the article on the artist.
FP category for this image: Wikipedia:Featured pictures/Artwork/Paintings
Creator: Jacopo Tintoretto

Support. I've seen the image before. Looks like a decent scan, but would be nicer at the resolution higher than the current one. Twilightchill t 16:04, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: The crop looks a little severe. The dimensions given on the image page are 125 x 105.3 cm, which would suggest it shouldn't be much taller than it is wide. J Milburn (talk) 09:14, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- That's a fair point. Withdraw. Adam Cuerden (talk) 09:53, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
