Blick in Griechenlands Blüte (View into the Heyday of Greece) - masterful painting of a Greek temple (the Parthenon?) being built.
  •  Comment - I can speak for myself on this. I don't know this artist or his style, so if I supported this photo, I'd have to trust that Google got it right, but I really can't have an informed opinion about that. I'm also a little confused about what we're judging, because it's described as by August Ahlborn after Karl Friedrich Schinkel, so is it a copy of another artist's painting? If so, how significant a work is this copy, that we're now judging a photograph of - so at least twice removed from the original? As for the painting itself, it's ambitious, but either the composition doesn't really work for me or the photo hasn't given it a clear enough representation in some way. And for this big a painting (235 × 94 cm / 92.5 × 37 in), a larger file would also be welcome; unless my memory is tricking me, I thought I recalled that previous Google Art Project files have been huge. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:01, 5 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
