Rebecca starts the bidding with "Rembrandt, duh" on Facebook.
Oh, totally Rembrandt. Though I like Salvator Rosa well enough--at least his people and his demons, not really his landscapes. The new Rembrandt is hard for me to see as anything other than the Dutch Masters cigar logo, because my dad smoked a lot of them when I was a kid. I used to look at those guys on the white cellophane and wonder which one was Rembrandt. The only painting in the tournament I could smell half a block a way.
Rembrandt. Though Rosa wins the Hottie Award.
Mariah gets Rosa on the board via Facebook.
Rembrandt, duh.
Rembrandt. Rosa's pretty good too, though.
A strong vote for Rosa. Not feeling Rembrandt.
Rembrandt
Rembrandt, duh.
Susan votes for Rembrandt
Yeah, Rembrandt.
Rembrandt sweeps the last half of the voting, and wins this match nine votes to two. He'll move on to a tough one against Sargent, while Rosa stays alive to take on the winner of Sisley v. Ruisdal. The action just doesn't stop!
