Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/San Pardo

 

The picture shows exactly why many consider the Cathedral of San Pardo one of the finest examples of early Gothic architecture in Italy, or even Europe. It also shows another side of the Cathedral. Generally, photographers focus on the 13-pane rose-window, thought to be the only one in the world. The other architectural details such as the fine carving and statuary tend to be overshadowed. Although the image only depicts a small part of the building, one must keep in mind that the subject isn't really the cathedral, but rather its constituent parts. The image is used in the article Larino. It would obviously be better suited for an article about the cathedral, but currently, that is part of the main entry for Larino. I don't know who took the picture. I found it on the Italian Wiki. - Larineso 16:20, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Neutral. Support if a higher resolution image can be obtained Anish7 06:22, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

*Support Larineso states that it shows exactly why the cathedral is an example of fine architecture. From the point of view of someone interested in the architecture of this building this picture would prove quite useful. Jaberwocky6669 June 28, 2005 23:01 (UTC)
