We are gathered here today to get into this thing called a Second-Round Elimination Tiebreak. It is occasioned by the tying up of Guido Reni and Pierre August Renoir. They'll pair off against Lorenzo Ghiberti and Sir Henry Raeburn, who tied in an earlier tiebreaker after initially stalemating against William Holman Hunt and Ljubov Popova, respectively. Got it? Good.

Looks like I neglected to formally close this one up, but it was Reni six votes to three in low voter turnout.
