Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/There were giants on the Earth in those days

Original - Titans and giants, including Ephialtes on the left, in Gustave Doré's illustrations to Dante's Divine Comedy.

Reason: I love the way that the perspective and tiny figures of Dante and Virgil add scale, and the stark strangeness of the landscape we find them in. Stunning in thumbnail, astounding at full size.
