This match has been brewing for a long time. Toulouse-Lautrec lost to Turner in the Second -- no shame in that -- and then stayed alive by finishing off Tintoretto, after he'd lost to Tissot, and then Titian, after he'd been ambushed by Tissot. But then Tissot also ran into Turner, and so, after a few additional plot twists, here we are.

ReplyDeleteSusan votes for Toulous-Lautrec.
ReplyDeleteThis one is a tricksy tricksy beast, because Toulouse-Lautrec is kind of my kind of thing, but I don't really like him all that well; whereas, Tissot isn't really my of thing, but I kind of like him. Know what I'm sayin'? Anyway, I guess I'll vote for Tissot.
ReplyDeleteTissot.
ReplyDeleteTissot's two late votes can't dig him out of a big hole, and the lesser-known name falls to the short Parisian dude, who brought eight votes against five.
