Vote for the two artists of your choice! Votes generally go in the comments, but have been known to arrive by email, by postcard, or in a sealed envelope.
Please note that you may vote only once in each face-off. Opining that both of the artists in one of the two face-offs is superior to the other is fine, but casting your votes for two artists in the same face-off is not permissible.

Let me join the chorus. Tintoretto and de Troy.
Sort of an 0 for 4 for me, but if I must choose, I'll go with Tintoretto and de Troy.
Susan votes for Tintoretto and Twombly.
I'll go with Tintoretto up top, and can't be bothered down under.
Tintoretto and de Troy.
Tintoretto puts a real pasting on Tobey up top, capturing eleven of the twelve votes. The bottom match is still live until I tell you otherwise!
I hereby tell you otherwise. De Troy takes this one, eight votes to three, and marches on to almost certain defeat in the Second Round! Or at least that's how I read the situation.
