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

Poussin 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.
Eh, I'll go with Redon.
Susan votes for Redon.
Redon.
Redon takes this one easily, eight votes against two. He'll forge ahead against Rego next week!
