6. I can't recall. But it's in the National Gallery in London, and if you look at if from a certain angle, you can see the skull on the floor. Cool.
1. The Mona Lisa. (You know that the rest of your quizzes are so scary that I keep thinking that one of the "easy" answers is going to be wrong. . . I'm tempted to put a question mark after even the most obvious answers. . . )
2. The Garden of Earthly Delights. Hieronymous Bosch, if I'm not confusing myself, subject of one of the best children's books of all time, "Pish Posh, said Hieronymous Bosch." It has Bosch-like pictures. Plus, it's a romance! What could be better? :-)
3. Oh, urg. I think it's Caravaggio, but it might be that woman whose name I'm blanking on even though I really like her. Or unless I'm totally out of the period. But since Caravaggio is the only name I can think of, well! Let's go with that.
4. Breughel. I think. It took me forEVER to come up with this name, doodling on the paper where I take my quiz first. I always just think of the poem about how the old masters, they were never wrong when I see this picture.
5. I don't know. Round legs, though. Titian? Reuben? Well, let's say Titian since I thought of it first, though now that I thought of Reuben I'm second guessing. No. No second-guessing. I'll probably regret that, though. But I might not. ARGH! The fact that I am probably wrong on either count reassures me. Titian.
6. I probably should know this. From the clothes, I'd say it's one of the Henry the 8th-era paintings. Don't know anything about Holbein. I know I've seen this painting before, possibly in person, and I have the sense that I'm wrong on the answer, but. . . um, The Explorers.
1- Mona Lisa
2- Garden of Earthly Delights by Bosch
3/4/5- unsure
6- The Ambassadors. I've seen it in London, very cool painting.

I want more punctuation marks, but I'm rescuing myself because it's so easy and I'm such a smug arrogant bastard. Where's the geography quizzes? I suck at those.
