Mantegna is quite wonderful, but here I'll confess that, yes, I do weary of religious subjects. Manet's work is also lovely, with a surprising range, and boy does he know how to people a scene. He gets my vote.
Mantegna puts up a fight, but Manet takes it without too much trouble, nine votes against four. We'll see how he fares against a book artist in the Third Round.
Voting in the Infinite Art Tournament? Awesome. And, please be aware that purely anonymous votes are not counted. You don't need to log in or use your real name, but you must identify yourself in some fashion for your vote to count.
I feel I probably am going to be in the minority here, but I find myself swayed by the epicness of Mantegna's paintings.
ReplyDeleteYou're in the lead Mantegna!
Mantegna, but I like Manet as well.
ReplyDeleteSusan weighs in for Manet, and points out that he didn't really live until 1983.
ReplyDeleteThree Facebookers for Manet -- Linda, Mariah, and Grace.
ReplyDeleteManet. Though what are the circumstances that would lead to the situation in the second picture?

ReplyDeleteUm, Manet, amirite?
ReplyDeleteMaybe! Personally, I'm going with Mantegna. I respect what Manet was up too, but I've never completely felt him.
