I like Fabritius.

I also really like the Fabritius. If it weren't for that damned Delft gunpowder explosion, who knows how famous he could've been...

Morgan said...

Fabritus is rather pleasant!

Carel Fabritius - He has a nice name, too.

An abstaining email voter doesn't want to vote against either artist.

Me, on the other hand, I'll take the optics of Fabritius above the wafer-thin range of Fantin-Latour any day.

The bird votes for the bird. Fabritius.

I'm kinda digging Fabritius.

It's a sweep! Fantin-Latour doesn't seem to generate much animosity but fails to take a single vote, losing it 0-11 with a single declared abstention. He'll try again in the left bracket as Fabitrius sees if he can keep his momentum up when he takes on Feininger this week!
