    Landseer - what in the world are those dogs doing with a tool box?

    I'm not sure either will get my vote next round, no matter what they direction they go. But I'll go Landseer this match, based on that very noble-looking cow.

    Not too excited about either, but I'll vote Landseer.

    Lancret, because 1) cow, and 2) cute dog paintings are a slippery slope to overly cute dog paintings, like

    Gotta draw the line somewhere.

    Oops, I confused who did the cow. Nice cow. Still...

    I guess I'm coming down on the side of humans, with a vote for Lancret.

    Lancret looks like he's doing covers for the 18th century New Yorker. But I'll take him over heroic animal pictures.

    Lancret's 18th-century New Yorker covers for me, please!

    A real squeaker -- which sounds like something Landseer would enjoy painting -- but Lancret's comeback falls short and it will be heroic animals moving on to Round Two!
