Only this statue of this man in "Commons". Three photos of it. One BW, one bad quality. This one shows the recent renovation. Paul & Virginie above. Was taken in the Jardin des Plantes, BdeSt-P was Director during the french Revolution. So we have both representations of the main activities of this man: author and botanist. Info This sculpture is in public domaine, sculptor Louis Holweck was born in 1861 and died in 1935. -- Jebulon (talk)
Comment Truly sorry, but I don't think that this statue is worth a scope by itself: "Not every work of art is worth a Valued Image scope. A scope is justified for instance if the work is the most significant work (or one of the most significant works) of an artist having an article on its own on any Wikipedia." By the way, I have completed the categorization of the image.--Myrabella (talk) 23:38, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Why not widen the4 scope to Bernardin de St. Pierre? The statue depicts him well, comparable to the paintings, and it shows both the ecrivain and his famous work. --Ikar.us (talk) 06:28, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Please notify previous voters of this change. Remember: "A support vote that was made before a change of scope is not counted unless it is reconfirmed afterwards; an oppose vote is counted unless it is changed or withdrawn".
OK. As stated above, I regard the statue a perfect motif for the subject. Of the three images of the statue, this one deals best with the inevitable difficult background.
Neutral The proposition is really interesting. This monument summarizes several features about Bernardin de Saint Pierre: its physical aspect, his most known novel, his activities in various fields. I would have supported if the "rendering" had been better at the review page size. But the statue, being dark green, is somewhat melted with the background. That prevents this image to be a perfect substitute of the available portraits IMO (for instance as the lead picture in the infobox of a Wikipedian article). --Myrabella (talk) 15:42, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
