- Info created by Félix Vallotton - uploaded by Kirtap - nominated by Basile Morin -- Basile Morin (talk) 04:38, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
- Support This oil on canvas by Félix Vallotton has its own entry on Wikipedia (in French). It is inspired by Olympia (Manet), and mentioned in famous newspapers. The painting belongs to The Metropolitan Museum of Art of New York City. -- Basile Morin (talk) 04:38, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
- Comment Fascinating picture, but the image is very small for an artwork. Is there a larger one available? Charlesjsharp (talk) 15:29, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
- As this is clearly in the public domain worldwide, one should write to the MET, so that they provide a larger version. Currently there is a mention "Due to rights restrictions, this image cannot be enlarged, viewed at full screen, or downloaded." Yann (talk) 18:08, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, it is public domain, today. And several other sources exist where to download the image freely, some of them are commercial (so one just pays the cost of the printing) -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:33, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for the comment. This artwork has 3,792 × 2,953 pixels, so 11,2 Mpx in total. It is not so small, considering the best professional Canon Camera in 2019 (year of upload) was the Canon EOS-1D X Mark II, with only 3648 px height. A small crop and that's it, one gets this size.
- The last FP that was promoted in the same gallery was the Madonna (Munch) in 2019, and the picture had only 12,4 Mpx (3,109 × 4,000 pixels), thus very similar dimensions. Most of our FPs of nudes have comparable sizes, and some of them are even smaller, like The Luncheon on the Grass (Manet), only 3,167 × 2,459 pixels. I don't think a larger resolution of this painting can be found on the web in 2022, and if we get one it will certainly come from the museum -- Basile Morin (talk) 18:11, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

- Support Good reproduction of a fascinating painting. The resolution is OK for me because the photo is very sharp. --Aristeas (talk) 10:04, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

- Comment This is clearly important as an answer painting, so it's cool that it'll be featured, but I wish the reproduction were bigger. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:20, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
