The Hundred Guilder Print (Rembrandt)

Original - This work is an example of Rembrandt's superb sense of composition. It so happens that both the horizontal and vertical structure of the image adhere closely to the golden section. Rembrandt is known in his work for the great compassion he felt with ordinary people, which is fully evident here in the detail devoted to minor characters in the scene.

Reason

I actually thought this was featured and just now discovered it wasn't.

• Support Very nice digital reproduction; could use a more succinct caption, per criteria --Eustress (talk) 00:07, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
• Oppose This works out to only about 160dpi, way below the necessary level to bring out all the detail in an etching by a master artist. Several of the figures are made significantly more indistinct than they should be by the low resolution. I'd want at least 300 dpi. I think we should be able to do better - a google image search finds a slightly larger copy (2800x2000), though, alas!, now deleted. For now, I'd suggest this would be an excellent choice for Valued images, and we should certainly keep an eye out for better ones. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 12:39, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
• Oppose Doesn't meet all criteria. It doesn't have good resolution of the subject, nor does it have much quality. I see this image in Valued Pictures, as it is very educational. ZooFari 23:57, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
• Regretful oppose We already have an FP of Rembrandt's work in File:The Anatomy Lesson.jpg. There's certainly room for more FPs from this great artist, but this borderline resolution file does not thumbnail well. Please keep looking. :) Durova^Charge! 05:25, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
