Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Submission of the Prince to the General

Reason: This painting shows the arrest of Prince Diponegoro by General de Kock in 1830, which marks the end of the Java War (1825–1830) in the Dutch East Indies. The scene symbolizes colonialism: the colonial power rules over the indigenous people in the colony. The painting was made by Nicolaas Pieneman, and is now in the collection of the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam.

Oppose, it's an OK scan. Even if the painting has merits it should have a extra-ordinary scan. gren グレン 00:48, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- The scan is comparable to the scans of these featured pictures Image:Orlando Furioso 20.jpg, Image:VanGogh-starry night ballance1.jpg, and Image:Charlotte Corday.jpg. – Ilse@ 07:35, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - That's only something I could compare if I knew original size of the images. gren グレン 17:40, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, is it really supposed to be this green-ish? --Aqwis (talk – contributions) 17:09, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes; the scan is probably taken directly from [1]. – Ilse @ 01:06, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
