Botticelli
Got to go with Botticelli again.
Botticelli, no contest.
Botticelli, of course! I don't remember seeing that nativity before--the angels remind me of something out of an Escher print.
Botticelli.
Boucher. I'm all about the decadence today.
For painting a picture of my mistress, Boucher. But for the purposes of this tourney, Botticelli.
BATTLE OF THE NAKED LADIES
I'll go Botticelli.
Tough call... I say Boucher. But seriously - both are fabulous.
An email vote for Botticelli.
And although Boucher has grown on me, I would still pick Botticelli, even for a painting of Chuckdaddy's mistress.
Botticelli.
yep - I agree with the Botticelli crowd on this one.
Aww, poor Boucher! I love his ridiculous excesses, but I'm afraid Botticelli is Botticelli. I sure hope Boucher's not the last rococo painter we get to see, though....
And Botticelli whups it up on Boucher, 12-2. Voting is closed in this round.
