Original – The Annunciation, with Saint Emidius by Italian artist Carlo Crivelli. It was painted for the Church of SS. Annunziata in the Italian town of Ascoli Piceno to celebrate the self-government granted to the town in 1482 by Pope Sixtus IV.

ALT - The National Gallery scan, unadulterated.

Reason: Probably one of the best Annunciation paintings. Some UFO folks believe the Holy Spirit there is an alien spaceship.

Comment - Seems a bit too saturated compared to the National Gallery version. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 14:36, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- I couldn't find that version on Commons. Once it's downloaded from NG, it would be possible to compare the resolutions. Brandmeister^talk 14:59, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support ALT - Source is clearer and more reliable (the current version of the "original" is certainly not from the WGA). — Chris Woodrich (talk) 17:09, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support ALT, though I prefer a little more eccentricity with my Crivelli. (I believe the proper art historical term was "Dude was wack, yo.") --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 14:37, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
