El Greco, the left-side of the bracket is beneath you! A strong vote for the impressionistic Renaissance man.
Romano.
Romano!
Here's an emailed vote for El Greco.
El Greco the Greek guy
This kind of surprises me, but, yes, El Greco.
Fine, fine, El Greco, okay.
In this contest of like-but-don't-loves, I'll throw in with Jimmy the Greek.
Dang, dude. Romano, but it's a tough one.
El Greco runs away with it, stacking up 9 votes against Giulio Romano's 3. Giulio Romano will get to say he lost to Giotto and El Greco, so that's pretty good for him.
