The Winter's Tale

 * Reason:It's a high-resolution Shakespearean artwork with a fairly interesting history, if one that can be explained briefly (see caption, and linked articles). Also, look at that use of lighting to emphasise the main characters - the window drawing the eye to Antigonus; the shining armour - so well done - emphasising Leontes and pulling him out of the dark in the middle, and Perdita in a pool of white cloth surrounded by dark soldiers. Do look at this one at full size - there's a whole lot of detail here. =) Shoemaker&#39;s Holiday (talk) 02:56, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
