Original – Combining the composer's name with tambour, (French for "drum") this lithograph by the French artist Paul Delaroche makes clear Rossini's European reputation as a creator of noise, with trumpet and drum accompanied by a magpie (La gazza ladra), an oriental type (Otello or maybe Il turco in Italia), and King Midas (with his ass's ears), literally trampling on sheet-music and violins, while Apollo (the god of music) makes his escape in the background

Reason

I'm not sure why this didn't pass the first time. Perhaps too much of the context was in a note at the bottom of the article. But this is an excellent example of a satirical cartoon that shows a negative view of someone who's now considered almost above reproach, challenging our modern view of his climb to fame. A prominent illustration in a featured article.
