Cast your votes for up to four of these seven artists by Friday June 28. For clarifications, consult the Ladder of Art FAQ.
We bid adieu to Luini this week, and Chase is off to by-week -- which leaves us with a set of three established ladder winners, a surprise repeat by Alston (and not Warhol), and three new fellas who we haven't seen for years, what with them being from the front half of the alphabet.

Flavin, Canaletto, Kalf, Daubigny.
Well, I like Froment a lot, so it's tempting to go the one-vote route, but...
I'd been feeling that Daugbigny and Kalf had found their level, but there's not a lot of competition here, so I'll vote them on.
Heck, against Dine, Flavin, and Allston, I'll even throw in a vote for Canal "A Souvenir of Venice" Etto.
ACTUALLY NO! I'm gonna be an unsporting moderator and do a perfectly legal if kind of grouchy vote-enhancing exploit: Positive vote for Froment, negative votes for Dine, Flavin, Allston.
Froment, Allston, Canaletto, Daubigny.
Daubigny, Kalf, Canaletto, and Flavin
Daubigny, Allston, Canaletto, and a vote against Flavin (take that sister!).
I like the gamesmanship, Michael5000.! I'll actually go with your original votes: Daubigny, Froment, Canaletto, and Daubigny.
Froment, Canaletto, Kalf & Daubigny.
...says Susan, that is.
Oops. Instead of Daubigny twice I meant Daubigny and Kalf.
Froment, certainly. And Canaletto.
