Wikipedia:Valued picture candidates/Portrait of Galileo Galilei, 1636

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original - Portrait of Galileo Galilei by Justus Sustermans painted in 1636.
Reason
Well, it's Galileo. The image portays him perfectly, and I think even more so without cropping to just his face: it captures him better in my opinion. A recent nomination is the cropped, smaller version, and I think it is too small to be a VP, whereas this is just perfect portraying him, especially considering it's from 1636.
