The Ladder of Art -- Week #15

Cast your votes for up to four of these seven artists by Friday March 15.  For clarifications, consult the Ladder of Art FAQ.


Since there was a three-way tie for first the week before last, there's only one debut appearance on the ladder this week.  But, there's been a certain about of shaking, shifting, and settling -- and there are several first-time-on-this-blog images -- so let's see what all y'all make of this week's set!

Well! Looks like the odd fellowship of Sassetta, Siquerios, and Wadsworth tie for first and the bye spot, with Veronese and Gros tied for fourth. Fiorentino and Andrea del Sarto drop out, and we'll likely have some fresh artists to ogle this week.
