Jacob Wrestling with the Angel

I like this painting a lot. By By Gustave Doré (1855) →Raul654 04:46, Oct 26, 2004 (UTC)

  • Oppose. I don't think pictures of pictures should ever be featured pictures. Us sitting around deciding whether Doré deserves to rank alongside our dog photos is an excellent illustration of why. Markalexander100 07:02, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)
    • It is hard to have a single criteria to judge photos, drawings and works of art. Perhaps there could someday be a Wikipedia art gallery just for paintings and other works of art. Perhaps a "Wikipedia:Featured art" page in place of the subcategory we currently use. - [[User:Bevo|Bevo]] 20:40, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Oppose. I do think we should have pictures of pictures, otherwise we would exclude a significant subject area. But this one wouldn't be my choice. The Seurat last month would have been better. -- Solipsist 08:27, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)

  • Support. A brilliant work. There are many more artworks in Category:Public domain art that could be featured. Gdr 13:17, 2004 Oct 28 (UTC)
