  2. Carracci, because I like the "outta my way! I'm late for a crucifixion!" painting. Landseer. Lipchitz. Wadsworth.

  6. I like Carracci well enough, but the inadequate size of that cross always gets me. "Gonna crucify a child!" The passer-by recoils in horror.

    I'll go Luini Wadsworth Sassetta and oh why not Reynolds here.
