Goya kicks his butt. No contest. I like the one with the guy eating the baby. Hey, I was just in Cooperstown and saw the rise and fall of Roman Empire series of paintings. Think you'd dig it. http://www.jcrows.com/cole.html

Hmm, you know what? I hadn't heard of either of these, but after some googling, I am saying Jan van Goyen.
ReplyDeleteI'm voting for Goya, in the hopes that the Blue Boy and the Duchess will get into a staring match later in the brackets.

Yeah, Goya.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Goya. He's an old favorite back from my high school days, when Spanish class included an intro to Spanish culture.
ReplyDeleteGoyen, though I like both.
ReplyDeleteGoya all the way, baby!

Goya for me, because I really like "Saturn Eating His Son". van Goyen for Alison.

ReplyDeleteI feel kind of lame for going against the A-list name in Round One, but... Van Goyen.
ReplyDeleteAn email voter checks in for Goya.
ReplyDeleteGoya, but not based on these.
ReplyDeleteAnd it's Francisco Goya, with a 12-5 trouncing of Van Goyen. Things can only get tougher for the Spaniard in this challenging bracket.
