[edit]

I'm removing the image File:Attila and Saint Loup de Troyes.jpg from this article, finding it to be of poor quality, ahistoric and of no information value. This is a low-quality pastiche work by a modern illustrator, who has taken the overall composition of a 16th-century print (depicting not Attila at Troyes, but Alexander the Great at Jerusalem, found here: [1]), and just exchanged the figure of the 16th-century fantasy "Alexander" with a modern-style, more "realistic" and more Asian-looking drawing. Both the original 16th-century work and its modern adaptation are without any historical value, and the modern pastiche is esthetically horrible in its grotesque style mix. There is also a possible copyright issue, as it was uploaded as "taken from the archives of Grigorij V. Tomskij" and released by him into the public domain, but we have neither an OTRS clearance from the uploader, nor a confirmation that Tomskij is really the artist here (he's the author of a book on Attila, apparently.)
