Oh maaaannnnn, Giulio Romano is awfully good. But I will go with Giotto for three reasons: (1) he's The Father of Us All, (2) I have fond memory from Quiz days of trying to mislead people into thinking image #1 was by Grandma Moses, and (3) Mrs.5000 would probably kill me if I voted against Giotto in Round 1.
So, Giotto. Very cool, and although I had no idea that he was the father of us all, I can imagine it with those dates. But Giulio Romano? Googling some of his images (not all!) sold me on him. Color me pagan today with a vote for Giulio.

ReplyDeleteBy postcard: "Giotto. One of the Great G's -- no wonder you said that they would take so long. Amazing after the letdown of the Es and Fs.
ReplyDeleteRomano!
ReplyDeleteNot that it will change things,'but I am switching my vite to giotto. He is just too lapis lazulitastic for words
