The Infinite Art Tournament, Left Bracket Third Round: Filippino Lippi v. the Limbourg Brothers!

Filippino Lippi has won two easy matches, but split a double-header with his father, Fra Fillipo Lippi.  After losing to dad in the First Round, he came back in Second Round Elimination to decisively reverse the earlier result!  And that means that today he's going up against the Limbourg Brothers, who just came within a single changed mind of upsetting Leonardo da Vinci.  Never a dull moment, in the Infinite Art Tournament.

Filippino Lippi
1457 - 1504
Florentine






Jean, Paul, and Herman Limbourg
died c. 1416
French
  • Defeated Roy Lichtenstein easily in Round 1.
  • Beat Wyndham Lewis in Round 2 by a two-vote swing. YOUR VOTE COUNTS!!!
  • Lost to Leonardo da Vinci -- Leonardo da Vinci! -- in Round 3, by only a two-vote swing. YOUR VOTE COUNTS!!!

    Tough one! I think I will say the Limbourgs. I imagine they look even better in real life too.

    The Limbourg manuscripts are lovely, but in a decorative sort of way, whereas Filippino Lippi's work is not just lovely, but also expressive and observant and...well, you can see why the Renaissance was a big deal. Lippi.

    I agree with everything that everyone has said here, and my vote is for Lippi.

    I'm not sure if this will help.

    Nora: I can't choose

    Elliott: I like both of them a lot

    Thanks to Alex, Sarah, and the kids for answering the quorum call. We've got a winner, as Lippi takes out the Limbourgs six votes to four. He'll take on something he could have only imagined as he fights to keep his epic Left Bracket winning streak alive... a photographer!
