Dove, for the first work especially.
Both are rather nice in their own way, but Dove's use of color and shape is really aesthetically pleasing and almost calming in a way. I'll vote Dove!

I have always been fond of Dove.
I like Dove. But when you put his work against Dou's, it seems so light and sketchy it might float away. I'll take the luminous details of a fully rendered scene, and the Dutch mastery of Dou.
An email vote for Dou. "Dove has done much better than that second one, but Dou, whom I never heard of before, is such a nice genre painter."

Dou for me, thanks. They are works of enormous skill and charm, but they also benefit from their age -- it makes them windows into our common humanity with those of many generations back.
Dove is also quite good.
Dove intrigues me, but I find myself in agreement with the thinking of the 5000s here. A vote for Dou.
Dou.
And Dou's thrilling comeback run ends the contest in a tie! That will make Dove and Dou the final pair of artists to be pitted against the survivors of the play-in tournament. You'll see them again, in about a year.
This match is closed for voting.
