    I think this is going to be one of those match-ups that I agonize pointlessly over, while no one else does and the result isn't even close. I love love love Hodler's landscapes and portraits, but am not so into his groups of half-naked/naked people lounging around. Not that I'm personally against lounging naked people, just not his. Whereas I always like Hiroshige's paintings... Hodler for now.

    Hiroshige, especially that last one. I really do like Hodler, though, and I felt not as conflicted as Chuckdaddy but certainly within the same ballpark.

    I'm with Chuckdaddy--definitely conflicted. I'm going to give Hodler my vote this time, even though I really like Hiroshige's work.

    Hodler for sure, although Hiroshige has grown on me as I've seen some of the breadth of his work.

    I like Hodler, but not quite enough to not vote for Hiroshige.

    It's Hiroshige! The Japanese master takes the match 8 votes to 4, becoming the first person from outside of Europe and North America to progress into Round Four.
