Info painting by Fra Angelico and Filippo Lippi – photo by Google Cultural Institute – uploaded by Coldcreation – nominated by me -- Aristeas (talk) 15:00, 25 July 2021 (UTC)- Info The Adoration of the Magi, tempera on panel, diameter 137.30 cm (54 1/16"), dated between 1440 and 1460 and belonging to the family heirloom of the House of Medici, today in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. – The Adoration of the Magi was popular among Renaissance painters and their clients, and this is one of the most impressive depictions. There is a detailed English Wikipedia article just about this painting, and there are shorter Wikipedia articles in other languages. The painting is well-composed and rich of beautiful details, the choice of the tondo (circular) format is rather rare for this subject, and the fact that the painting, started by the famous master Fra Angelico, was finished by another famous master, Filippo Lippi, makes it important for art historians. The reproduction (photo) is very good – high resolution and not oversharpened. (There is also a derivative variant with “remastered colours”, but “remastering” the colours of such paintings is a very delicate affair, this version seems more realistic to me when I recall the colours of Fra Angelico and Filippo Lippi paintings I have seen in misc. museums.) --Aristeas (talk) 15:00, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
Support I stumbled over this image and noticed that it is a FP on the English and the Vietnamese-language Wikipedia, but not on Commons. So I nominate it for the reasons given above. --Aristeas (talk) 15:00, 25 July 2021 (UTC)- Support Very nice.--Famberhorst (talk) 15:21, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

- Support The quality is very high. I feel like the version with "remastered" colors is an attempt to represent the painting the way they think it looked when it was new, not how it looks now. And, anyway, whether they're right or not is just guesswork. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:02, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
