The Infinite Art Tournament, Left Bracket Second Round Elimination: van Scorel v. Schongauer!


In the IAT bracket structure, artists who make it to Second Round Elimination often share some kind of history.  In the case of Jan van Scorel and Martin Schongauer, that history is that they've both been defeated by Kurt Schwitters.  Seriously, don't even mention collage to either one of them right now.  It's kind of a sore subject.




Jan van Scorel
1495 - 1562
Dutch





Martin Schongauer
c.1435 - 1491
German

  3. I got to go with the first guy. I'm fascinated with the naked muscular woman. That was not a body type that would have been popular to paint back then, I'm thinking.
