Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/The Tiburtine sibyl and the Emperor Augustus
- Reason
- I think that a 16th-century work is interesting in its own right, but this one also illustrates a fascinating bit of mediaeval Christian mythology. It is the only high-quality image in Tiburtine Sibyl.

- Comment I'm having difficulty determining the importance of Antonio da Trento. Not even the Italian Wikipedia has an article about him; the only reference at all is in de:Parmigianino, which awards him a red link. What I find frustrating is that people will nominate images without having apparently taken the time to establish the encyclopaedic foundation that their nomination case ideally should rest on. This applies to many nominations by many contributors here. How are we supposed to evaluate something that you've given us hardly any information about?
