Original – Gothic quadripartite cross-ribbed vault of the Saint-Séverin church in Paris
Reason
It's a quality image and valued image at Commons, so the technical quality is apparently good. The size of 1,825 × 2,855 is well over the minimum. It definitely has a "wow" factor, showing details of the closer arches as well as a comprehensive view of the farther ones, thus demonstrating how the vault is composed as a whole. Licensed as GFDL/CC-by-sa-all. It demonstrates the way in which arches combine to form a vault, with bonus points for demonstrating the vault's curve over the apse. Easily verifiable; it's a simple photo of the interior of a public building. The description is what I've given as "caption" for this nomination, plus geotagging and date; the primary caption is in French, as it's a place in France. I'm unaware of any digital manipulation whatsoever.

  • Support This is a useful, high-quality image. The caption should include the date, which is known- 1489. Note: I changed the picture caption from "vaults" to "vault". A vaulted ceiling is a "vault" singular, not plural. Amandajm (talk) 07:27, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
