Reason
The current FP was promoted about 16 years ago, and still is a good one. But there is a better file with sharper and higher res scan of the original, that is already used in the
main subject article as lead image, as well as multiple other important articles. The proposed replacement is also the one closer to the original colors of the painting.
Delist and/or replace any version — Once D&R done, I'll update the articles with the new FP. I have dropped a message on the original nominator, but they aren't active in three years.

Replace. Source is the gallery hosting the painting itself. Colours are probably better although I'm not sure what happened in the top left corner.

For whatever reason, paintings are usually considered off-limits, even when the lighting is going to emphasise or de-emphasize the cracks and dust. Adam Cuerden(

Agree. And BTW, the Beethoven pic was a case in point, IMO. --

I don't mean the cracks, which are on the painting, but the white dots, which aren't.

I made a new version, cleaning some white spots.

PS: I plan to replace the images in articles after the cache catches up (image was used in 2 stub templates).
