Overall: Article is new enough and long enough, there's no copyvio and its well sourced, qpq is done. Whilst the image is free to use, and undoubtedly really special, I don't think it will show up well on the page. I'd be inclined to perhaps add 'known as' to ALT0 - so you know it's the name?

Difficult to understand sentence[edit]
