I like Clouet in this match! That top one, with the receding womenfolk and the jugs and rapacious children, is really something. I am usually a sucker for landscapes, but Claude Lorraine's don't appeal to me all that much.
François Clouet
Hmm, yea, that first Clouet is pretty weird. I like weird.
Here's a vote-by-email: "Two old-school Frenchmen face off. Tho I love Henry VIII on a wonderfully caparisoned horse, I love Claude Lorraine's landscapes more, especially the first, so will vote for him."
Clouet
I'm down for Claude.
Clouet.

And Claude goes down to Clouet in a 7-6 heartbreaker. Voting is closed in this match.
