Caravaggio's Francis of Assisi

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 4 Dec 2014 at 20:28:15 (UTC)

Reason: The painting was the first of Caravaggio's religious paintings, from 1595. Caravaggio is the art history's enfant terrible, unorthodox, striking, innovative and rebellious. He was involved in fights an scandals, but he was a magnificent painter. He had a very special unmistakable style that was his own, and he influenced generations of painters of the Baroque style like Rubens, Jusepe de Ribera, Bernini, and yes, even Rembrandt.

Question - Where is the scan from? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:55, 24 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
^{:Here it is. Wadsworth Atheneum’s collection of European art, scroll down to last four paintings, and click on this one. Masur put that to references. Hafspajen (talk) 02:01, 25 November 2014 (UTC)}[reply]
Except that's considerably darker and not nearly the same resolution. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:33, 25 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

^{Well, - searched, LACMA, - here is from the New York Times ..?, Art Daily,- Detroit art museum; -all art; - Detroit again, ; -LACMA again- famous-paintings -wadsworth-atheneum - the net is full with this painting - guess have to ask uploader.[1] [2] Hafspajen (talk) 12:58, 25 November 2014 (UTC)}[reply]

Looks like he today, but no answer yet. Hafspajen (talk) 21:29, 25 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This - is the one, I think. Hafspajen (talk) 21:31, 25 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Also much less contrast (actually, the colours in that one are much nicer). — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:07, 25 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Shall we stop this nomination until clarified? Or shall we try an alternative? Hafspajen (talk) 23:37, 25 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, not much I can do, if he doesn't respond. He was editing on commons since I posted on his talk-page - and must have seen my question - and yet he never responded - and he has an user-box where it is stated he can speak English. Hafspajen (talk) 10:40, 26 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Apparently it was a friend of the uploader who messed up the source, and I have been promised he will be asked... here. So far - no further response. --Hafspajen (talk) 16:02, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Hafspajen: Anything new about this? I'm tempted to close this. Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 04:06, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well, no. Nothing, I asked several times. I think the guy is an admin on commons ... but he said he will ask his friend who made a mess of the sources, but so far nothing. Give me three days more (considering time). I leave him a message and if not, we have to close it. Hafspajen (talk) 08:35, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, and even then, you can renominate the image any time, if the actual source is revealed. Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 11:41, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
