Support -- File:La Chambre à Arles, by Vincent van Gogh, from C2RMF.jpg was recently promoted to FP. As suggested in that FPC discussion, this is a version with the frame cropped (and some additional metadata). All existing uses of alternative images have been replaced with this one, so it has 19 uses in articles on 16 projects. I'm proposing moving the FP tags from File:La Chambre à Arles, by Vincent van Gogh, from C2RMF.jpg to this new version. Although both should be retained, I think the version without the frame is more appropriate for use in most articles and for featuring on the front page.

Comment Something looks wrong with the perspective. -- ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼苦情処理係 14:52, 17 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If we were to think that way some faces from Picasso would have strange proportions (which is true, but do we really care ?) - Benh (talk) 18:35, 17 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

So far we cared very much about this fact: [1], [2], [3], ... -- ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼苦情処理係 18:52, 17 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not quite sure what you are pointing me to but but it seems to me that here, the emphasis is given on the colour, texture and mood more than perspective accuracy (might be wrong of course). In manga drawing, issues on proportions and perspective are more annoying. - Benh (talk) 19:20, 17 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- I'm reasonably certain this image accurately depicts the distorted perspective used by van Gogh in his original painting. There are several nearly identical versions from various other sources on Commons, as shown below. Dcoetzee (talk) 19:06, 17 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

~~Weak oppose~~ I looked at the "with-frame" version and saw that the border between the painting and the frame is not perfectly linear. If you crop the frame out, you also crop out bits of paint. —Notyourbroom (talk) 20:48, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- This is true, any rectangular crop will always remove some of the painting, because no painting is perfectly rectangular. Nevertheless most paintings on Commons are rectangular crops. Dcoetzee (talk) 22:05, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - If that's the case, I withdraw my opposition. —Notyourbroom (talk) 14:01, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
