Hassam
It took me a long time decide. I will vote Greuze.

I like gray Greuze well enough, but I like colorful Childe Hassam better.
One vote apiece from the FB feed: Linda picks Hassam and Mariah picks Greuze.
Jean-Baptiste Greuze all the way.

I feel sort of like it's my patriotic duty to support Hassam, and then I really like the Brazilian flag, and then I think you know, if I have to work this hard to like Hassam better than Greuze, maybe I don't really.
Greuze.
Susan, on the other hand, votes for Hassam. This one looks like it might be kind of close.
I quite like a couple of the Hassams, and I don't much like a couple of the Greuzes. But overall I'm leaning Greuze. That first one, which I don't think you've shown before, is oddly engaging. I don't know what it is, but there's a story there.
It's Greuze by three votes, nine to six. Hassam went two-and-two; Greuze has won three straight since his First Round loss and moves on to try his luck against Hammershoi.
