Original – The Seven Deadly Sins and the Four Last Things, an oil on wood painting attributed to Hieronymus Bosch from circa 1500. Four small circles, detailing "Death of the Sinner", "Judgement", "Hell", and "Glory", surround a larger circle in which the seven deadly sins are depicted: wrath at the bottom, then (proceeding clockwise) envy, greed, gluttony, sloth, extravagance (later, lust), and pride in scenes from everyday life rather than allegorical representations of the sins.

Reason: High resolution and quality, interesting painting; I am unaware of any of the artist's other work being featured

Weak oppose Some inscriptions in the lower left circle are illegible at full size (at least to me). Btw, his The Garden of Earthly Delights is featured. Brandmeister^talk 10:28, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the info. Fair point about the inscriptions; any estimate on their size in RL? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 11:01, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Considering that the painting's height is 120 cm, it seems that their height is about 1-2 cm at best. Perhaps the scanner should have high dpi or something like that since even the 4000x3411 version doesn't render them readable to me. Brandmeister^talk 13:31, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support- I thin it unlikely that a better image of this particular artwork will be produced for some time. The painting is under glass, which makes it hard to photograph without reflection. There is some minor compromise to clarity in the four outer roundels, most noticeable in the one with text.The text itself, being painted in white (more granular paint) over the darker (and therefore shinier smoother) surfaces, is the part that is most subject to damage by abrasion to the finished work.

Support, per Amandajm. I would prefer higher resolution, though. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 11:49, 2 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
