Bellini! I like the crispness
Bassano - I've never seen a Last Supper in which everyone seemed to be bored to tears.
Bellini. Nice hat.
Bellini - Nice synchronized swimming.
I like Bellini. A more orderly world, where everyone has their own niche. But I do want to know who fell asleep at the Last Supper.
Bassano. Animals and feet!
Bellini. The other guy makes me sleepy (get it? get it?)
Bellini. I really like the Byzantine-influenced one
Bellini...the guy with the hooked nose and the details had me.
Sheesh, this is a tough one. I guess I'll run with Bassano on the strength of the Last Supper.
Here's a vote-by-mail for G. Bellini.
Bassano, and not just because of the dog(s) and cat. I love the bare feet in the Last Supper, though I didn't expect to see somebody (John?) falling asleep in Jesus' lap while playing footsie with him. The knife about to fall off the table is great, too, and the guy in front with the green top and orange lap blanket (Judas, I'm guessing) has great stitching on his sleeves.
Despite some late love for Bassano, Gentile Bellini held on to his early lead to win easily. He'll make it on to Second Round Elimination, and voting is now closed in this match.
