Fabritius, though I like Van Eck's green paint a lot.
Fabritius. It took a couple centuries to invent depth in paintings, it seems.

I like Jan Van Eyck. And yea, wow, he was an early one, I didn't realize that.
Ooh, both so good, and so masterful in the details. But definitely Jan van Eyck.
Van Eyck sounds very important, but I don't like how he drew most of his people. A vote for Fabritius.

Susan says Fabritius.
My vote goes to Van Eyck and his green paint. Especially after slogging through that damn Goldfinch book.
Fabritius.
It looks like it's going to be Fabritius, who takes this contest with seven votes for him outnumbering the four for Van Eyck.
