Vote for the two artists of your choice! Votes generally go in the comments, but have been known to arrive by email, by postcard, or in a sealed envelope.
Please note that you may vote only once in each face-off. Opining that both of the artists in one of the two face-offs is superior to the other is fine, but casting your votes for two artists in the same face-off is not permissible.

I vote Avercamp and Baldung too.
Make that 3 for Avercamp & Baldung.
Avercamp! Baldung!
It's definitely Avercamp and Baldung for me, too!
I'll be following the crowd as well!
Bucking the trend with AUERBACH and Baldung. Guess I'm feeling kind of smeary this morning, instead of infinitely precise.
Avercamp and Bauldung (though I love neither and Baldung's one painting could give me nightmares).
Email votes here for Avercamp and Baldung.
And I guess I toss in my own votes for Avercamp (woo woo!) and Fra Bartolommeo.
Avercamp and Baldung for me too.
Avercamp ("Because it's Christmas") and Bartolommeo ("Because there's a baby").
OK, that's freakin' adorable.
Avercamp, who clearly should have won his first-round matchup.
Baldung, despite the two guys arguing about which way to go in Bartolemmeo's second picture.
Auerbach and Baldung!
The Auerbach/Avercamp pairing is now closed for voting. You may still weigh in on Baldung/Fra Bart if so moved.
And Baldung/Fra Bartolommeo is now closed as well, with Baldung triumphant.
