The Infinite Art Tournament, Left Bracket Third Round: Alma-Tadema v. Beckmann!

Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema has shown a lot of staying power in the Tournament.  After losing his opening match -- only the third in the whole dang show -- he has shown remarkable staying power in the left-hand bracket.  If other people are like me, that might have to do with us getting something of a taste for the pre-Rafaelites.  Or maybe not!  In any event, how is he going to do against Max Beckmann, who has had almost a year to rest up after his Third Round defeat?  Only one way to find out.  Ladies and Gentlemen, commence your voting.
