Reason: This was nominated in 2010, and appears to have gotten sidetracked by editing and failed to get enough support. To me, it's a large, high quality, well used file, which as with all my nominations, I stumbled upon accidentally and said "this is a large, high quality, well used file, why isn't an FP?". Well here we are.
Articles in which this image appears: Dozens, including
History of political thinking, History of painting, and People
. In most of them it's a lead image or lead section image.
FP category for this image: Paintings is the most straightforward choice, but History (others) is also an option.
Creator: Eugène Delacroix

Oppose There appears to be some scanning artifacts here and there, and there are white specks all over the picture. Dusty777 (talk) 17:50, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I was under the impression that those were brushstrokes, not scanning artifiacts, although you might just be seeing some I missed. As for the white flecks, the only one I saw that I thought wasn't a refection or shiny object painted into the painting was the one white speck in the red portion of the flag, which I just wrote off as damage to the painting itself. Anyone else have thoughts on these things?

Comment For what it's worth, those sure look like artifacts to me. Makeemlighter (talk) 16:13, 18 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
