Cornell!
I can't believe Chagall is out of the race! But that makes this match easy. Go, Cornell!
Philippe de Champaigne. I'm still rooting for the three views of the Cardinal.

Even though I know that the triple portrait isn't as trippy or innovative as it seems -- they were used back in the day for use by out-of-town sculptors -- I still dig Champagne's. I consistently like his stuff when I see it in person. So I'm going with him.
Here's an emailed vote for Mr. Cornell.
Champaigne.
It's a tight race, but Champaigne finally runs out of luck. Cornell comes out on top with a vote total of 7 to 5!
Thanks for voting!
