OriginalThe Little Street (1657–58) by Johannes Vermeer (1632–75); The Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, who hold the piece, consider that it "occupies an exceptional place in Vermeer’s oeuvre". IM (not very) HO, I just think it's a fantastic painting!
Reason
An excellent image of a superb Vermeer

Just out of curiosity, I see that if a scan of a painting is relegated to a large gallery at the bottom of a page, it's considered having low EV. What you are saying, is that the nominator can just create a stub with 1 sentence, post the image, and suddenly the EV is there? If so, I'll go with it, I'm just wondering for clarification purposes.

Just a minor correction: the image isn't in a gallery at the bottom, it's placed to the right at the top of the "Career" section. In relation to the article, it has to pass the WP:GNG threshold to have an article, which is part of the measure. - SchroCat (talk) 15:37, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • If you think someone is trying to game the system by doing so, then please AFD. That's why we have such processes. If a painting supports its own article (i.e. an article that would survive AFD), then it has EV. Period. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:13, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment -- The painting has it's own article The Little Street AND it is a famous painting too. That should be an EV itself. The Little Street is a well known painting. Can't really understand this discussion above. Hafspajen (talk) 20:18, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
