Van der Weyden
Baby on a fat horse? A court dwarf who is clearly a time-traveling Peter Dinklage?? Las Meninas? Some crusty old cardinal or pope or something in a fez?

Oh DANG big time now, I mean there's never any reason to vote against Sr. Velázquez but Van der Weyden, geez, I'mma go with Van der Weyden, WOO!
Yep, Van der Weyden is awesome, but I gotta go Velázquez. In fact, go, Velázquez, go!
