ReplyDeleteMetsu!
ReplyDeleteThe first Manet is my favorite of all of them (is that impressionism becoming post-impressionism?), but, overall, I like Metsu better.
ReplyDeleteThere was two Manet votes and one Metsu vote on the Facebook feed.

ReplyDeleteI keep warming up to Manet... but I do like Metsu quite... but I guess this is what the late Tournament is just like... so let's say MANET for me.

ReplyDeleteMetsu.
ReplyDeleteMetsu takes six votes, which would have been enough to win many of the less popular matches in this tournament. Not this one, though. Manet takes a big 11 votes, and will move on to a contest against Haeckel later this week.
