Original – From Commons: "The Raft of the Medusa (1818-1819). Oil on canvas, 490 × 716 cm (16 ft 1 in × 23 ft 6 in). Louvre, Paris"
Reason
High resolution upload of a famous painting; target article is FA. I confess I'm not an expert on color grading but this version appears to be superior to the other ones I found in a quick Google Image search. I can't tell if the faint color-banding in the lower left is an aspect of the canvas or a fault in the reproduction.
