ReplyDeleteI'll go with the fantastical Redon over Poussin, whom I like a little less each round.

ReplyDeletePoussin used to be a big big name, but he's just not aging well. Redon is... I dunno... I see illustrations for very expensive children's books. I'll go with Poussin indifferently for the draping of the blue robe in the bottom one.
ReplyDeleteEh, I'll go with Redon.
ReplyDeleteSusan votes for Redon.

ReplyDeleteRedon takes this one easily, eight votes against two. He'll forge ahead against Rego next week!
