Noah's Ark [edit]

It is a beautiful painting by Edward Hicks which is located in the article Noah's Ark. It is very crucial to this article because it is the only picture in it that has an image of the Ark itself. I believe that this picture meets all the criteria of WP:WIAFP; of course this is up for argument.

Comment I'm not sure that this really contributes much to the article; it is just speculation, after all (what the ark might have looked like). Also, it's a bit small for my taste. ~MDD 46 96 04:20, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Painting is too naïve. --Cyde Weys 07:30, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- When did that become a criteria? -Ravedave 18:03, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - I just don't think it's a good painting. That's certainly a criteria. --Cyde Weys 19:38, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Surely you don't think that this featured picture of a painting is better, do you? That one is a lot less detailed than this one. -EdGl 22:33, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - I massively prefer the painting of the harbor and I think it's better "art" as well. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 23:00, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose but only on grounds of size. Sorry this doesn't meet the requirement of being large enough to permit quality reproductions - the interpretation of that rule is flexible depending on circumstances but over 1000px is generally a working minimum unless there is a good reason. I would prefer to see a PD reproduction like this at 3000px. Otherwise, I think no encyclopedic gallery would be complete without a good example of Naive art! ~ Veledan • Talk 18:09, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose/Comment per Veledan, I would be inclined to support if a larger version could be acquired. –Joke 19:35, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose to small and just a bad painting, no artistry whatsoever. The Greencastle Harbor painting linked to by EdGl is a wonderful example of impressionist art, but thats allready a FP -M^ask 03:16, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
