    Cuyp for the "I want to visit there" factor!

    Cranach the Elder for the expression on the nymph's face. Also I like the effect of the gauze on the dark and light surfaces. And because I have to vote the opposite of Morgan for some reason.

    Well, Cuyp's stuff is lovely and all, but googling both I found myself browsing and enjoying Cranach a lot more. He has some almost Bosch-like landscapes and a general weirdness I rather like.

    I like the second Cranach a lot -- the face! the sleeves! although the first is less interesting to me.

    But, Cuyp gets my vote as one of the great painters of cows. I like cows.

    Oh, this one is a toughie. I like them both. I will go with Cuyp, because he did some of the awesomest skies.

    I'd say Cranach; the spine on one of Cuyp's cows makes me feel uncomfortable and sorry for it.

    Cuyp! Those cows are so fun to look at, weird spines and all

    And it's Cranach with a decisive 9-4 margin! Voting is closed in this pairing.
