Nominated by	Myrabella (talk) on 2010-03-31 15:24 (UTC)
Scope	Nominated as the most valued image on Commons within the scope: Tiburtine Sibyl
Used in	Global usage
Reason	The mythic meeting of Caesar Augustus with the Tiburtine Sibyl later reinterpreted as a Christian theme became a favored motif of artists. This 15th-century painting by the Early Netherlandish painter known under the name "Master of Tiburtine Sibyl" is the most evocative to me, among the images available within this scope. See also: [1]. --Myrabella (talk). The image looks good on-screen at the review size, which is a VI quality requirement. 15:24, 31 March 2010 (UTC) -- Myrabella (talk)
Review (criteria)	Support Die flächige mittelalterliche Malweise ist ideal für kleine Ansichten. (In the translators' forum they haven't found an English word for flächig yet.) Well documented. --Ikar.us (talk) 21:16, 31 March 2010 (UTC) Withdrawn for even better candidate. --Ikar.us (talk) 20:28, 8 April 2010 (UTC)  Oppose I just don't think the reproduction is good enough. It's so... yellow. The other image is supposed to be yellow. This one? It's a Yorck project reproduction, and they're almost always wrongly-coloured. Adam Cuerden (talk) 09:44, 5 April 2010 (UTC)  Comment The scopes isn't about the painting, but the subject that the painting depicts. IMO technical quality of the reproduction doesn't matter, if it doen't disturb recognizability of the subject.--Ikar.us (talk) 15:49, 6 April 2010 (UTC) I'm sorry, I just don't agree. When the reproduction is this bad, with a strong yellow cast that makes the contrast between the figures be substantially reduced, it's just too misleading. It's being suggested as valued because of who its by - the Master of the Tiburtinian Sibyl. But it misrepresents his work. What if we cropped File:Nuremberg chronicles - Tiburnine Sibyll (XCIIIv).jpg down to the image, and did a little basic perspective correction? It's not great art, but it's notable and, if anything, much clearer at thumbnail size. Adam Cuerden (talk) 17:20, 6 April 2010 (UTC) @Adam: If you produced the edited version you have suggested, it could be a third competitor indeed. --Myrabella (talk) 17:44, 6 April 2010 (UTC) I've not actually used GIMP for perspective correction before - most of my edits are to engravings I prepared myself. I'll see what happens. Adam Cuerden (talk) 19:40, 6 April 2010 (UTC) Can't seem to fix the barrel distortion, alas. Someone else want to have a poke?
