Canaletto, Kalf, Daubigny, and Landseer
Daubigny obviously. Kalf for sure. And I want to vote against Landseer, but I really like Luini and Canaletto, so I'll hold off on my negative attack vote for this stage.
I'll take the first four.
Canaletto, Daubigny, Landseer, Zuccarelli.
Canaletto, Kalf, Luini, Daubigny
Susan says: "Canaletto, Kalf, Luini, Daubigny"
Then there's me. I'll vote for Kalf and Luini.
Canaletto, Landseer, and Zuccarelli. A negative vote for Merz.
