This is super tough. They're both proficient and vibrant and fun. These are terrific paintings.
I guess I'll go for Massys.
Quentin Massys.
Massys, duh
I think I gotta go with my boy Professor Leighton on this one
Massys might be the more historically valuable painter but his figures are so stiff next to Leighton's. I'm going with Leighton.

Massys has really grown on me this tournament. Leighton? Less so. I'll go for Massys.

Quentin please
Leighton. Sorry!
So let's see, that's six for Leighton, but nine for Massys, who must therefore carry the flag against Velazquez. We'll see how he does!
