Sacrifice of Isaac
Voting period ends on 13 Mar 2015  at 04:18:22 (UTC)
 * Reason:It should be self-evident that oil-on-canvas paintings of Biblical events are always gorgeous and high-quality. (No really, I checked it against the featured picture criteria. All checks out, in my opinion)
 * Articles in which this image appears:Binding of Isaac, Sacrifice of Isaac (Caravaggio), Abraham
 * FP category for this image:Artwork
 * Creator:Caravaggio

 * Question - Where's this digitization from? This looks like there's a bit of halftoning. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:21, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Yeah, wonderful painting, very expressive and very good. Not exactly a blessing, this friend of ours, who uploaded lots of Caravaggios only filling in for source = scan. Wish he wouldn't do that. My own nomination of a Caravaggio went down in the drain too, because of it (Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/File:Saint Francis of Assisi in Ecstasy-Caravaggio (c.1595).jpg). All picture has to have a correct source given to be accepted as FP. This guy doesn't exactly making us any favor with his scan-source-uploads.--Hafspajen (talk) 09:29, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Actually I think somebody should start looking into this matter on commons. Or start uploading new Caravaggios with a source. They are too many that are unsourced. It is rather irritating. --Hafspajen (talk) 09:32, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Also, Abraham, not Moses. Adam Cuerden (talk) 07:37, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

 *  Conditional Support - if the source problem can be fixed. Hafspajen (talk) 14:22, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment- Source=scan, not acceptable. Scanned from where??  KDS 4444  Talk  02:03, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Source problems don't look like they'll be fixed. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:48, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I have notified the original uploader of the image of the problem with the image's source. It appears he/ she is Polish— I hope my English will be translatable.  How or if the problem will be addressed, though, we shall have to wait and see. I also came across Hafspajen's previous request for clarification of an image's source information from this user, and saw that it was ignored.  Very disappointing. What is worse, he/ she appears to be an administrator at Commons!  Double-weird.  KDS 4444  Talk  13:12, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you, User:KDS4444. I agree, it is very disappointing, there was no solution. But he did responded, not that it was much of a help... Hafspajen (talk) 16:11, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
 * This was the response, I copy it over here: Sorry. The situation is, that as I'm more into tehcnicalities, I mass uploaded all these scans on behalf of my friend (user:Staszek99), who took care for descriptions and so on. Therefore, I really don't know their source and clearly see now the problem, that they aren't fully described. I contacted him yesterday about the issue you've raised, and he promised to come back to me soon. Masur (A) (talk) 13:21, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
 *  Sorry for not replying. Staszek99 confirmed, that unfortunately he doesn't remember now. So pity - but it's how it's :/ Masur (A) (talk) 14:01, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
