- ... that The Dream of Ossian (pictured) by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres was painted in 1813 for Napoleon's bedroom? Sources: Gow 2018 and Fondation Napoléon

- New enough, long enough, QPQ done. Image is properly licensed (and a Valued image on Commons). Neutral, well cited, and not violating copyright. Hook fact is interesting and cited inline. I find the issue with Ingres planning to change the painting from an oval to a rectangular format slightly confusing: is it correct that he did change the format, but did not go through with other plans to change it? Perhaps you can clarify. Other than that I am happy.

- Yes, the painting was made rectangular, but some compositional changes that were part of that reformatting were not complete. GeneralPoxter (talk) 21:34, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

I'll be glad to review this nomination. Should take no more than 5 days for an initial response. More to come!--Jburlinson (talk) 09:54, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
Very well written and organized article. I only have a couple of comments.
- It is reasonably well written.
- a (prose, spelling, and grammar):
b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
- The lead seems a little undernourished. It might help to highlight a couple of significant details from the body of the article. Particularly, the evaluative comment in the lead is quite negative, while the article contains some more positive responses that might be used to balance the impression left by the lead and further enhance the notability of the subject.
- a (prose, spelling, and grammar):
- Expanded. GeneralPoxter (talk • contribs) 12:50, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
- Also, the sub-section labeled "Fate" is a little ambiguous. It likely refers to the final disposition of the painting, but there's a possibility that it might refer to Napoleon's military exploits or even a theme depicted in the artwork. I'd suggest simply deleting this heading and including the material under the general section "History".
