    I am going to say Arcimboldo, but I feel that my feelings might be changed if I saw a Bosch in person.

    Oh, definitely Bosch, though I'm pretty charmed that Arcimboldo has lasted this long. I had the chance to stand in front of The Garden of Earthly Delights, back when I was in high school and visiting Madrid. One of the earliest art experiences I can still clearly recall. I am so sure Morgan's right, if I was worried about the outcome I would be scrounging him a plane ticket.

    Bosch for sure. And I'm already feeling conflicted about the possibly coming Boticelli-Bosch match.

    Bosch. I never liked Archimbolo. Not that I like Bosch much either.
