I like Corot, but I *love* these works by Caillebotte.
Paris!
I'm so pleased to be the fifth person to vote for Caillebotte

Hats off to both. But Caillebotte's tightly composed urban vignettes trump Corot's meticulously distant rural idylls.
Here's a vote-by-email for Caillebotte.

Here I agree with mrs.5000's succinctly well phrased assessment. Caillebotte.
Caillebotte is awesome. I wonder if Corot's pictures were less dull when they were new?
Caillebotte is awesome. I'm voting for Corot and meticulously distant rural idylls.
After two artists have slogged their way through to the Third Round and tied there, you don't really expect a blowout to come next -- and yet, here's Caillebotte putting the hurt on Corot with a 12-1 margin. It kind of makes you wonder how Caravaggio, who tied with Caillebotte, is handling Cali, who tied with Corot!
