    That first Cole is allegorically trippy as hell, but I am going to vote for Landseer and his noble stag.

    Which does not mean what you think I mean, M5K.

    Hmmm, two very accomplished artists I kind of fail to love. Landseer is like the Bougereau of animal portraiture. I'll go with Thomas Cole, who's maybe the Bougereau of breathtaking landscapes.

    Cole - unenthusiastically.

    And Cole wins this one easily, 10 votes to 3, setting up that most thrilling of IAT scenarios: the Grudge Match. See you Thursday!
