Original – Battle of Wimpfen, painting by S. Vrancx showing the magazine explosion
Reason
It serves well to illustrate the WP article (which, admittedly, could be more detailed), and is a fine example of an oil painting showing an engagement in the Thirty Years' War (exploding magazine cart included).

  • Comment as the one who found where it is hanging, and added most of the file description only hours ago. It's got explosions, gore, action and educational value. (As in "Don't mess with the Imperial Army".) Nominate it now, before Putin flogs it to the mullahs. ;) Plus: You would thrill an interested IP user. 2.247.243.158 (talk) 14:39, 26 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose A photo of a painting should definitely fulfil the minimum size requirement for a FPC. This one doesn't. --Janke | Talk 14:53, 26 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment wp:Featured picture criteria says "Still images should be a minimum of 1500 pixels in width and height; larger sizes are generally preferred. [...] Exceptions to this rule may be made where justified on a case-by-case basis, such as for historical, technically difficult or otherwise unique images, if no higher resolution could realistically be acquired."
    The file has 1,920 × 1,069 pixels. No mercy on this point?
    Mmh, I guess I could email the Heremitage and ask if they'd supply a higher res photograph for WP, if this fails. 2.247.243.158 (talk) 15:14, 26 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose on size grounds. The waiver doesn't apply -- one could theoretically, but fairly easily, get a higher resolution scan of this painting. MER-C 14:00, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose this is a low quality scan of a painting that still exists, so an exception should not be made for low resolution. Mattximus (talk) 23:48, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per Janke, MER-C, Mattximus. - The NMI User (talk) 04:45, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
