Strong opposition - Sorry, I prefer File:Mattia preti, omero, 1635 ca. 01.jpg, which looks more like a painting to me, whereas the nominated photo looks either unfinished or destroyed, and I mean it looks that way at full-page size, let alone full size. There's what we would call either terrible chromatic aberration or catastrophic paint loss in the painting as depicted in the nominated photo. I certainly hope the painting does look more like the other photo in real life, no offense, friend. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:51, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
We must show the subjects as they are. With their true colors and with their flaws. We are not here to mount the subjects as we would like them to be. The image you prefer was made by amateurs who did not make the white balance: the colors are false. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 09:54, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Since you're sure the painting really looks like this, I will remove my opposition, but I hope someone has a "before" picture, showing what the painting looked like whenever it was in good condition. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:14, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
