Orcagna and Lochner for sure. At first I thought I'd cast my remaining votes for Domenichino and Vouet. But Rococo artists tend to have a similar effect on me. I start off disliking them, but their lightness and lack of taking themselves seriously always grows on me. And in this case, that means Roubiliac will knock off the very serious Vouet on this ballot.
I am casting my vote for zero (0) artists on this list.
the most interesting thing to me so far is that, for these two-vote guys, when I go back to get a third image I'm all like wow, this person is a much better artist than I thought! Anyway, I'm voting for the last four guys on this week's list.
Susan says: I'm being picky & only voting for two previous choices: Stefan Lochner & Jack Butler Yeats.
OK, Orcagna, Vouet, Domenichino, and Roubiliac.
So, here are a few very very late votes, with Nora for Orcagna and Roubiliac, and Elliot for Domenichino, Roubiliac, & Vouet.
