  • Oppose - An important image, but this version has mediocre resolution, washed-out colors, and nasty scanning and/or JPEG compression artifacts. --Dgies 02:55, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Yes, sadly there are some heavy compression artifacts throughout the image. --Tewy 03:11, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Oppose I would support this portait if the image itself wasn't bad. S h a r k f a c e 2 1 7 04:04, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
  • I did a google search on this pic and this is the best image I could find. I really like this painting of napoleon and I would like to see it as a FP. I can understand why people would have a problem with the quality but i decided to throw it out there for the heck of it. It is a 18th century painting after all. --Tobyw87 14:16, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
  • New version is of much higher quality - but it cuts off important parts of the painting, such as the names of the other conquerors who crossed the alps. Debivort 00:56, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
