    Hobbema. I've heard of Goya but these paintings don't do much for me. Cute pointy shoes, though

    I'm still hoping Goya survives long enough in the tournament to see The Third of May, or The Witches' Sabbath, or Charles IV and Family, or--what's that one?--Burial of the Sardine...

    It's kind of awkward, because I hate to see an A-list name crash out early. But, Goya doesn't do much for me, and I've got to call 'em as I see 'em. Hobbema!

    In a bit of an Art History shocker, it's Hobbema who comes out on top in this one, with a thin 8-6 voting margin. That makes Goya one of the biggest names to fall yet in the Infinite Art Tournament!
