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.

  • 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]
