Original – Painter Frederic Edwin Church.
Reason
A rather good photo of a somewhat strange-looking person (there are other photos of him, e.g File:Frederic Edwin Church by Napoleon Sarony.jpg that confirm this is accurate). Still, I rather like it. It was a very dirty print, but I restored it quite carefully.

  • Support – An interesting image of a prolific but less widely known artist. Bio is well-illustrated and comprehensive (if overlong at 2,900 words). – Sca (talk) 13:21, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Is that white spot under the bow tie damage (visible even in this thumbnail)? MER-C 19:04, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @MER-C: Simply put... maybe? I've wavered on that, as it doesn't look like the other damage, but it's kind of hard to tell. Can remove it, just not 100% sure if I should. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.2% of all FPs. Currently celebrating his 600th FP! 20:07, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Since it is somewhat distracting, but of no importance to the picture, I'd say - remove it. --Janke | Talk 20:12, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support - It's hard to overstate Church's importance in the history of American landscape painting. And I highly recommend a visit to his estate at Olana if you're ever in the Hudson Valley. Choliamb (talk) 22:03, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
