  1. I prefer Bordone's technique better, but his paintings are rather dull. On the other hand, Bosch's are exciting! I vote Bosch.

  5. My vote goes to Bosch. It will take someone more interesting than Bordone to knock Bosch out of this competition.

  7. Bosch seems a bit too cartoony. I'm going for Bordone by default (and I do like his first one)

  8. Bosch was one of the first Favorite Artists I ever had. A gateway artist. He's pretty awesome and amazing. Bordone seems capable but uninteresting. I like the impeccable geometries of the first one, but it's so mathematically correct that it becomes a bit stiff.

  9. Love that first one by Bordone, but the majority of his work isn't as inspiring. And Bosch is just too crazy and weird and awesome. Bosch wins it.
