[edit] The Inferno, Canto 7, lines 8-9
The image is created by Gustave Doré(1832-1883) and is a drawing for a verse from The Divine Comedy by Dante. I used it in Anger article in the section "Dealing with anger". I think it is a very illustrative picture.
Comments:
- Hmm, this image is certainly better quality than the one above, but unfortunately, I doubt it would pass FPC. The main problem is that it doesn't seem very illustrative of anything. FPC needs to see very concrete encyclopedicity in its pictures; this one requires quite a bit of interpretation to adequately illustrate "anger." It also doesn't seem to be the best candidate for Divine Comedy, "Dante," or "Virgil" (all very tenuous connections). Size considerations, as noted above, also apply here. Overall, this picture lacks the enc. and "special" quality of FPCs. You can of course still nominate and see what happens, but I won't second. --Malachirality (talk) 05:56, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
- There is a higher resolution version on the source page, so, ideally, that image should be uploaded to Commons so that it can be used by others. I don't know what to think about this image; Malachirality is correct that it doesn't currently have a great place to go, but that doesn't mean it's not still a good find. It does need to really contribute to article (and have the larger resolution uploaded) before it's going to be promoted as a featured picture. Also, as Malachirality asked me on my talk page, there is a little bit of concern about moire on the central figure, which could either be the artist's intention or an artifact of the size of the scan, ect.
