    I like the second Rousseau, but do I like the painting or do I like the village? I like the second Rubens, but do I like the painting or the attractive woman? I think I'm going to fall on the side of Rubens on this one.

    Thanks to Maddy and three other voters I asked in to make quorum:

    Rebecca: Duh, Rubens. Statesman, spy... something of an art career on the side... interested in painting more than a bunch of brown trees...

    G: Rubens

    Ann: Rousseau, hands down.

    So that doubles Rousseau's vote, while only increasing Rubens' by 43% -- and yet Rubens prevails, by a final vote of ten to two. Thanks to all the voters and especially those called in by special request!
