    Wow, this is a really hard decision for me. They are both so genuinely dramatic in such different ways. I'll lean just slightly to Friedrich since I'm not sure I've ever seen anything quite like his pictures.

    Ooh, both are awesome. I'll go with Artemisia Gentileschi's audaciously balanced verve and artistry.

    These are heavy hitters. I'mma go with Artemisia Freaking Gentileschi, on the strength of the new painting.

    Friedrich takes it! Friedrich beats Gentileschi, and moves on to a tough Round Five match with Thomas Eakins.
