Original – Rembrandt's The Jewish Bride, dating from around 1665 to around 1669. Christopher White described it as "one of the greatest expressions of the tender fusion of spiritual and physical love in the history of painting".
Reason
Quality reproduction of a notable painting. Nominated last year but received little commentary.

  • Support Looks pretty good. Dusty777 01:46, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. The picture's not particularly vivid, but a nice bit of sentiment fused into the painting and the seventeenth-century aura would make a nice touch on the main page. dci | TALK 04:50, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Not really my favourite painting, but notable and well-reproduced, or at least as well as one can given all the cracks that reflect light (I guess you could do some equivalent of focus stacking to get around that with a special multi-flash-angle camera, but proposing that people use not-yet-existant technology isn't really something we can ask for in FP.) And it has its own article, so definitely has strong EV. Adam Cuerden (talk) 22:10, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per Adam. Not an amazing painting, but notable enough and a good reproduction. Kaldari (talk) 05:26, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
