    These artists are super similar, which makes them easy to compare! Lorenzo is my vote.

    It's like an apples to apples example where one just clearly tastes a little better. Another vote for Loreno.

    Tough call. I guess I'll go with the second guy.

    I saw an article saying there are new documents saying Jesus had two kids? Is that a bunch of crap or what?

    Lorenzo Monaco, though I don't have a haiku to back up my position like Elizabeth! Having "Lorenz" in both names made it confusing - I had to go back twice to make sure I was voting for the right one, so I didn't end up like all those elderly Palm Beach Jews voting for Pat Buchanan in 2000.

    I can't tell the difference, but for some reason prefer the second guy.

    Yay, Siena school. I'll definitely go with Lorenzetti, for the murals in the Palazzo Pubblico.

    Both from Siena too? Well, uh, er, I'll vote for the one from Monaco?

    If I remember right, the first guy is more important. But I find the second guy more beautiful.

    And Lorenzo Monaco takes it it a tight one, eight votes to six! He'll move on to go up against another old Italian master this week in Round Two.
