Oath of the Horatii
Voting period ends on 16 Mar 2015  at 20:09:26 (UTC)
 * Reason:Iconic painting, iconic painter. The scene is depicting a Roman legend. The two Roman cities, Rome and Alba Longa were engaged in war. It was agreed that the settlement of the war would depend on the outcome of a battle between the three Roman brothers from the Horatii and the the three brothers Curiatii from Alba Longa. The painting is about masculine self-sacrifice for one's country and patriotism.

 * Comment - Wouldn't the original (in the Louvre) have greater EV? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:42, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
 * This painting he painted ... two times, this painting [[File:Jacques Louis David - Bonaparte franchissant le Grand Saint-Bernard, 20 mai 1800 - Google Art Project.jpg|28px]] - five times - and all look the same. Even this has two copies. Vincent van Gogh - Dr Paul Gachet - Google Art Project.jpg. Hafspajen (talk) 23:52, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Support then. If we ever end up with an article on the painting, I'd expect both images to be included. For history, you make a convincing argument. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:04, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Don't we already have an article for it? And it appears that the article has images of both versions. Trout me if I misunderstood your comment, though! --The one that forgot (talk) 07:27, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, indeed. Hafspajen (talk) 16:08, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
