Rosso Fiorentino, by a hair.
There's something about the Pre-Raphaelites that bothers me. Like, let's be all revolutionary by doing what others did before us....? And I'm sure I'm not giving them their art-historic due, but wouldn't art be more-or-less the same without them? The Impressionists have art a new direction, while the Pre-Raphaelites were just rehashing the old, with more garish colors.
Anyway, naked Moses battle artist ftw!
Rqossettiiiiiii
DYAC! Rosetti.
Rossetti
Before we started the Tournament, I thought the Pre-Raphaelites were kind of a joke. I felt vaguely embarrassed for them. Well, they'll never be my fave raves, but starting all the way back at Alma-Tadema I have thawed a lot towards their uptight Victorian romanticism. Which is why the Michael5000 vote for Best Painter in This Matchup goes to.... Dante Gabriel Rossetti!
Rosetti, I guess
Rossetti
Eh, I'm going with il Rosso, who knew how to stage an action scene. May also be a preference for portraits of haughty young Florentine men over Rossetti's creepy medievalized vixens.
Susan says "I have to abstain from this one. Just too weird a juxtaposition of two dislikeable artists."
Rossetti.
And times up on this one, with Rossetti beating Naked Moses nine votes to three, with one abstention!
