    Wow- a tough call... I love Gaddi's style, but Gericault does a great job with motion and some of his portraits are amazing. And that raft of the Medusa... I'll go Gericault.

    That first guy did a pretty good job for painting back when they had no sense of depth perception, but I really like the second guy because he painted ugly people making pained faces. That's more my thing. And I especially like the guy trying to put his sword in his horse's butthole.

    Oh my. Well I like Gaddi and can only imagine how much more awesome his paintings would be if time hadn't taken a toll on them. Still, I'm going with Géricault, but not without a few second thoughts.
