    I'm usually a sucker for golden bling on paintings, but will make an exception this time and go for Géricault.

    This is a tough one for me. I think I'm going to fall on the side of Lorenzo Monaco, because it's pretty.

    Monaco, I guess. Gericault almost got it with the woman and horse; if they'd been a diptych, I probably would've tipped his way since I really wasn't too motivated to look at the differences between Monaco's paintings.

    Gericault takes this one, with 7 votes against 3 in light voter turnout. He'll take on Lorenzetti next, in a whole new region of the brackets. Stay tuned.
