The Infinite Art Tournament, Round One: Zuccarelli v. Zurbarán!

At this point, the Infinite Art Tournament would like to thank Phaidon Press for compiling The Art Book, which -- unbeknownst to them -- provided the idea and the basic roster for this complicated art-historical entertainment.  Which is, mind you, far from finished yet.


Francesco Zuccarelli
1702 - 1788
Florentine; worked in Venice and Britain



-----

Francisco de Zurbarán
1598 - 1664
Spanish

    An end of an era, and a good pair to go out on! I like them both, I like Zurbaran a bit more.

    Zurbarán -- last in the alphabet, but a winner in the First Round with a sound eleven to three victory over Zuccarelli. There's a lot more Tournament left to go, but the First Round is now officially closed.
