    Benozzo Gozzoli, please. I like the multiple and chronologically overlaid scenes in each painting, and Salome in Renaissance garb, dancing cheerfully while the already-beheaded John the Baptist is being beheaded by a one-legged man. Temporal incongruity FTW!

    I got the first guy's paintings, Gorgonzolli, because that lady is about to get her head hacked clean off, and the guy looks like he is really enjoying it.

    OK, I know El Greco's way famous and all, but I've always kind of actively diskliked everything but View of Toledo. So I'm going with this festive Gozzoli guy I'd never even heard of. Go Firenze.

    I feel the exact opposite, Sue. El Greco all the way to the Thrilling Thirty Two where I'll have a tough choice against Van Gogh. But it looks like I'm getting ahead of myself. Where's the El Greco love?

    It took me some time on these here internets, but I think I'll cleave to the A-list this week and give my vote to El Greco.

    Boy, tough one! Once again, I had to turn to Google for tie-breaking, and based on that, I'd have to go with El Greco.

    And El Greco takes in a nail-biter, 7-5. Voting is closed in this match.
