- Reason
- As you may have noticed if you read the Signpost, I do try to pair a good featured article with a featured picture where I can. Normally, this is a restoration, but, in this case, it's a painting that's already featureable. So, from WP:FAC, I bring you: The Nativity. Full of lots of little, odd details, it has the slightly surreal and deformed (but very pretty) look 15th century painting often has, has a very interesting layout, zooming from a church-like archway into the stable and through it to fields and cities. It's a gorgeous piece of art.

- Support - we should try to make a collection of these to Christmas. Or a special Wikipedia:Featured pictures/Artwork/Religious topics?. I mean around 54% of art history is actually about religious subjects. Hafspajen (talk) 06:03, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
- We have Wikipedia:Featured_pictures/Culture,_entertainment,_and_lifestyle/Religion_and_mythology but the problem is that you want to have as few edge cases as possible, and with use of mythology in painting and such, it can be difficult. We don't want to have images that could go into any of three categories (for example, the Zoffany self portrait as David.) Adam Cuerden (talk) 17:06, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
