  4. Oh, this is the one I kept changing my mind on, because I quite like them both. But Pisanello wins easily with the artist-naturalist bump, when you look at his drawings of animals, and realize he was out ahead of people like da Vinci and Durer...Plus, like, most of his paintings don't even survive? So who knows what we're missing? Go Pisanello!

  6. Pissarro looked like he was in trouble early, but piled on the late votes to win by three votes, seven to four.
