The Infinite Art Tournament, Left Bracket Third Round: Reni v. Bouguereau!

Adolphe Bouguereau has been sweating it in the green room since back in 2014, while Lorenzo Ghiberti held up this chunk of the brackets by tying first with William Holman Hunt, then with Sir Henry Raeburn. Ghiberti finally fell this week, losing to Guido Reni, and leaves the Tournament with the peculiar record of 2-2-3.
