Van Ruisdael for the new one. Bleak sunlight on old sheds? Crypts, maybe?

Tough call, but Ruisdael's art might just be a little too dour for me. Savery.
Well, I think their record says a lot more about their recent opponents than it does about van Ruisdael and Savery. But here's another vote for van Ruisdael to keep his momentum.
Savery, although I like both about equally.
Susan votes by mail for van Ruisdael.
Savery is sweet!
Savery!
Mr. van Ruisdael takes this one in a close contest, with six votes against Savery's five. He'll continue on in the left bracket; Savery can return to his career as a semi-famous painter of the Dutch Golden Age.
