V for Varo!
Has it been two years already? And this is an awesome matchup. I still like Beauneveu, but I am voting for the modern Medievalist Varo here.
Remedios!!
I guess I'll go with the second guy because I like the lady with the wheel and the sword.
That Beanuveu could really illuminate a manuscript! But Varo will still barely get my vote.
Varo
As seems to be common, I'll cast my vote for Varo after a really hard look at Beauneveu.
Never seen Varo before, but I like! Varo all the way!
Varo is more interesting to my modern sensibilities, but Beauneveu rocked it for the time period. I'll break from the trend here and vote for Beauneveu.
Beauneveu

Like them both, but I'll go with Varo.
A vote through the mails for Varo.
Whereas I tend to linger in the medieval section, because I find the Beauneveu stuff to be FREAKIN' SWEET!!! Plus, the lady with the sword and wheel, right?
Varo, but I'm liking Beauneveu, too. (I accidentally typed "loking," there--"liking" + "looking," perhaps?)
It's Varo, 10 to 4, and a good start for our artists emerging from the Play-in Tournament! Beauneveu ain't out yet; he could still back and win it all through torturous path of the Left Bracket! That would be kind of exciting.
Thanks for voting!
