    There's something very serene about Ingres, even if he seems to add extra vertebrae.

    There's a split vote on the Facebook feed, one vote apiece.

    I thought I might feel conflicted about this one, but one look and I'm all for Jordaens.

    Well, Ingres looked poised to run away with it for a while there, but then Jordaens claimed the last three in a row to lock it all up in a six-six tie. And this all happened two years ago, so I'm going to officially declare this contest closed so we can move on to some exciting tie-break action!
