This painting by Viviano Codazzi is most famous for depicting the two bell towers aside the cupola (later removed) and the intentional absence of the Colonnade of St. Peter's by Gian Lorenzo Bernini. Codazzi was a member of the close circle Bamboccianti, a defined group of Dutch baroque artists in Rome during the 17th Century. The painting both captures great detail of St. Peter's Square at the time, the facade of the Basilica, and the Vatican Apartments. The image is prominently featured in the St. Peter's Basilica article. Image is also in Wikipedia Commons.

- Neutral. if someone makes sure that the colors are right I might support, but then again its too small...Nnfolz 00:32, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
- All other images of the painting I have found (outside of Wikipedia) concur the color of this image. The size problem, in my opinion, is not drastic enough to weigh-in significantly. Thanks -- AJ24 03:12, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose. Tilted. Too small (there's no reason for images of paintings to be small like this). --jjron 09:41, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose Due to small size. HighInBC 16:01, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose. Tilt, uncertainty about color (there are other images on the web with different hues) and this version is slightly cropped. Oh yes and size is a total knock-out. Especially in a painting like this I want to see details. --Dschwen 23:36, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose, especially if the image is cropped. Too small image, should be larger to discern details.--JyriL talk 15:16, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
