- Comment - This should definitely be a Valued Image, as it's the only reproduction of the entire painting (as opposed to a detail) that I turned up in a Google image search on the French-language title. However, to consider voting to feature this photo on Commons, I would need some reassurance that the photo's fuzziness at full size is solely due to fuzziness in the painting, not to unsharp focus or noise in the photograph. But either way, this is definitely a VI of clear historical, cultural and educational significance. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:16, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

- The uniqueness of an image is a criterion for Valued Image status on Commons. To become a Featured Picture, it must meet other criteria. Please read Commons:Image guidelines, and note the following: "Featured pictures candidates should meet all the following requirements, must have a 'wow factor' and may or may not have been created by a Commons user. Given sufficient 'wow factor' and mitigating circumstances, a featured picture is permitted to fall short on technical quality." If you'd like to argue that this reproduction has a sufficient 'wow factor' to override the blurriness that you don't seem to be arguing is in the painting itself, go ahead, but I don't agree. I suggest that you nominate this photo at Commons:Valued image candidates, where it will almost definitely be successful. Meanwhile, I Oppose its candidacy for Featured Picture. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:09, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
